Abstract
In this study, the solar radiation parameters (global and diffuse solar radiation) are correlated with respect to ambient temperatures in the fifth-order polynomial form for Izmir in Turkey. Experimental data were measured in the Solar-Meteorological Station of Solar Energy Institute in Ege University over a 5-yr period, 1994–1998. The ratios of the total daily diffuse to global radiation intensities for each month range from 0.38 to 0.45 averaged for the same period, with an average value of 0.41. It can be concluded that the present models predict the solar radiation parameters reasonably well with the correlation coefficients over 0.95 for the projections.
