Abstract

A formula has been derived for computing net radiation using (1) radiation received outside the earth’s atmosphere, (2) actual duration of bright, sunshine and (3) maximum possible duration of bright sunshine, Computed values and actual recorded values are shown to be generally in good agreement for Poona and Calcutta, for which recorded values are available. Net radiation values computed for 79 stations in India using the formula and maps are prepared showing the net radiation over India in each month. The main features of the monthly distribution of net radiation over the country are discussed.
