Monthly average daily diffuse solar radiation in Poland within the period 2005–2015

In this paper an 11-year series of daily values of diffuse solar radiation registered at 8 actinometric stations in Poland was used to describe the characteristics of diffuse radiation and diffuse fraction of global radiation for the area of Poland. Based on the monthly average daily diffuse, global and extraterrestrial solar radiation a linear relationship between these elements was determined. The obtained equation enables the calculation of the monthly average daily diffuse solar radiation for Poland and the application of its values to further climatology studies.
