Abstract

This paper presents basic data for a five year period from 1986 to 1990 for global and diffuse solar radiation data at Al-Arish (31°04′N, 33°49′E). These data have been processed, analysed, presented, arranged in tables and graphs and discussed. Mean annual monthly and daily total, the diurnal variation and the frequency of daily totals of global solar radiation are computed and discussed. A correlation between the hourly values of the clearness and diffuse index were obtained and the recommended correlation equations were also given. The isopleths of hourly global radiation were also designed and discussed. The frequency distribution and the frequency of extended periods of low radiation income have been studied which are of particular interest in the field performance of solar energy systems.
