Abstract

Global solar radiation measurements on a horizontal surface (Gm), mean daily maximum temperature (T), mean daily relative humidity (RH), mean daily sea level pressure (MSL), mean daily vapor pressure (V) and hours of bright sunshine (S) are presented, analyzed, arranged in tables and graphs and discussed for five selected locations over Egypt. The locations chosen represent the different weather conditions of Egypt. Matrough and Al Arish are in the north, Cairo in the middle and Kharga and Aswan in the south of Egypt. A correlation between the measurements of global solar radiation and the meteorological parameters were given for the considered locations. The common relationship for all Egypt was also estimated. The correlation and the regression coefficients and the standard errors of estimate are listed in Table 1. The values of correlation coefficients vary from 89% to 99% and the errors of estimation are between 0.01 and 0.04.
