Abstract


This study is accomplished to calculate global, diffuse and direct solar radiation empirically on a horizontal surface for the divisional district “Khulna” in Bangladesh (latitude 22o47΄N and longitude 89o34΄E) as well as to predict correlations for it by using several meteorological data for 32 years between 1980 and 2012. The global radiation is found to be maximum in the month of April and minimum in the month of December here. The estimated values of the Angstrom’s regression constants a and b are 0.2388 and 0.5228 respectively. The other regression constants were also computed and the correlations proposed for Khulna can be used in future for the estimation of global, diffuse and direct solar radiation if the meteorological parameters remain available.
