Relation between Global Radiation and UV Radiation
Journal Title: Universal Journal of Environmental Research and Technology - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
In this study, daily UV radiation on ground surface was correlated with daily global radiation on horizontal surface over Chennai using linear least square method. For the study, Daily UV radiation data on a ground surface were taken for the period from August 2011 to December2011. Global radiation data used were computed using Regression equation with sunshine hours. Observed UV radiation during this period was compared with computed UV radiation using linear regression equation. They were in good agreement with each other.
