Annular Solar Global and Ultraviolet (UV) Radiation Measurements

25187

In this work, the measurements of the global and the UV component of the radiation during the time period of Octobor 1993 and September 1995 in Adana region (latitude: 35°18 D, longitude: 36°59 N, altitude: 130 m) were done by using an Eppley Pyranometer (285-2800nm) and an Eppley UV Radiometer (295–385 nm) located on the roof of the UZAYMER in Çukurova University. Daily total energy and its UV component were calculated to be 8322.64 MJ/m^2 and 312.04 MJ/m^2, respectively. It was also found that the average daily total energy was 17.09 MJ/m^2 and the UV radiation was 0.64 MJ/ m^2. Monthly mean yearly global radiation was also determined to be 17.55 MJ/m^2 and the UV component as 0.67 MJ/m^2. The highest solar radiation was received in July, 25.75 MJ/m^2, but the lowest was in January, 7.25 MJ/m^2. The global radiation in June and August was higher than the other months. As a result of these data, it was determined that the 100 percent of the solar energy was smaller than 20 MJ/m^2 in February and October and than 15 MJ/m^2 in January. It was also found that 90 percent of solar radiation was greater than 20 MJ/m^2 in April, May, June, July, and August. From these results, we can say that solar energy is high in Adana Region.
