Abstract

Surface meteorological observations were obtained from National AGROMET Weather Station in UP Los Baños. Using empirical method the data obtained from the station were used to make a model that can predict the average amount of daily solar radiation in the said area. A multiple linear regression on the relationships between the measured solar radiation and, the extraterrestrial solar radiation; the solar declination angle; minimum and maximum temperature ratio; the monthly average daily temperature; relative humidity; amount of rainfall; percent possible sunshine; USWB pan evaporation; Mean Sea Level Pressure; and average daily sunshine length was used. It was found out that the parameters are strongly related with solar radiation.
