TITLE
ABSTRACT
We have correlated unavailable solar radiation in terms of relative sunshine duration, relative humidity and cloud cover for fourteen (14) meteorological stations in Nigeria: Bauchi, Bida, Enugu, Gusau, Ikom, Jos, Kano, Maiduguri, Minna, Nguru, Potiskum, Yelwa, Yola and Zaria. For about 71% of the stations studied our proposed model equation gave the best-fit-equation for yearly fits, except for Gusau, Jos, Maiduguri and Potiskum where the equation proposed by Aidan et al. gave the best-fit-equation. The adjusted coefficient of determination, for most of the stations.
