| Abstract: | Measurements of the monthly average daily global and global ultraviolet solar radiation over a period of three years (1985, 1986, 1987) in Kuwait are reported. Over the three years the computed yearly daily means for the above solar radiation components were 5.592 kW h/m2 and 0.260 kW h/m2. The effect of atmospheric dust on the measured solar radiation components is investigated. Employing the least-square linear regression analysis an estimated empirical function relating global radiation to ultraviolet radiation was proposed for the past three years' measurements. |
