Abstract

This paper presents a simple method for estimating the global solar radiation over Northeast Brazil. The inputs into the model are easily measurable (and available for a wide network of stations) meteorological parameter, namely precipitation and latitude. The comparison between observed and predicted values present a good agreement.
