An analysis of direct solar transmittance and atmospheric turbidity in the Mediterranean climatic belt
Abstract The empirical model developed by King and Buckius for the direct transmission in clear sky is applied to hourly data of two Yugoslav locations exhibiting typical meteoclimatic characteristics common to the whole Mediterranean belt. The occurrence of “very clear”, “clear” and “very hazy” hours, after the usually accepted definitions, is determined and discussed. The degree of accuracy of the previsional model is investigated performing the comparison with the corresponding values obtained directly by energetic procedure. A general overestimate of the transmittance is experienced with notable deviations in meteorological conditions affected by the presence of dense clouds which behav…

A more reliable relation between Angström and Linke atmospheric turbidity parameters
Abstract This work analyses the correlation between Angstrom and Linke atmospheric turbidity parameters (β and T ) which are commonly used in studies about the atmosphere's behaviour since they efficaciously monitor a point turbidity state and model the aerosol attenuation of solar radiation. Starting from the usual linear relation β = a + bT , a more reliable one is here derived by hourly data of three coastal locations with typical Mediterranean meteoclimatic characteristics, for values of the experimental ratios of diffuse and global solar radiation ⩽0.3. The expression found notably differs from the starting one as shown by the time variable.
Estimation of biogas produced by the landfill of Palermo, applying a Gaussian model
Abstract In this work, a procedure is suggested to assess the rate of biogas emitted by the Bellolampo landfill (Palermo, Italy), starting from the data acquired by two of the stations for monitoring meteorological parameters and polluting gases. The data used refer to the period November 2005–July 2006. The methane concentration, measured in the CEP suburb of Palermo, has been analysed together with the meteorological data collected by the station situated inside the landfill area. In the present study, the methane has been chosen as a tracer of the atmospheric pollutants produced by the dump. The data used for assessing the biogas emission refer to night time periods characterized by weak…
