Abstract

Measurements and predictions of solar radiation during a period of 10 years on horizontal surfaces at Santa Fe (31° 39′ S, 60° 43′ W), Argentina, reported as average daily global radiation for each month, are presented. Data are compared to those obtained with a previously published and verified model for computing solar radiation on horizontal planes at the earth's surface for cloudless sky days. Measurements show an important reduction of global radiation with respect to the cloudless sky model predictions for all months of the year. Conversely, averaged daily diffuse solar radiation calculated with Page's formula shows a small increment with respect to the predicted diffuse solar radiation for cloudless sky conditions. When direct solar radiation data, calculated from global and diffuse solar radiation values, are compared to theoretical prediction, a significant decrease is observed. This trend is similar to that obtained for global solar radiation.
