A study of solar radiation, Barrow, Alaska, 1962.
Measurements of solar radiation taken at Point Barrow, Alaska, in 1962 are analyzed and evaluated. This is accomplished by comparing the measurements with the theoretical clear sky radiation, calculated using Houghton's transmissivity coefficients. Global radiation measurements for the Spring a...
