A general formula for computing the coefficients of the correlation connecting global solar radiation to sunshine duration
TL;DR: In this paper, the regression coefficients of Angstrom type correlations for predicting monthly mean daily global solar radiation on a horizontal surface were developed to estimate regression coefficients in terms of the latitude, elevation, and percent of possible sunshine.
