Demonstration of Net Solar Radiation Geographical Behavior Revers Correlation with Relative Humidity in Iraq

Abstract

      It is common that extraterrestrial solar radiation R_a value lessen due to the interaction with atmosphere components to result a net solar radiation R_n value about one third of R_a for most measurements on earth. Net solar radiation had major impact on air temperature (T_o) value statement. So, its estimation is crucial for analyzing the interaction of (atmosphere-vegetation-soil).

Many methodologies available for this aim directly (with radiometer) or indirectly (with air temperature-based formula or soil plus air temperatures-based formula). The peak influences of global warming phenomenon were in eighties decade of the last century, yielding Iraq R_n rates to get climax after that R_n rates behaved in geographical based style, so those rates raised in middle and south regions of Iraq, and descending in its northern parts. The reason (as demonstrated in this research) was the spatial correlation in a reverse manner with RH rates all over Iraq.
