description

Abstract The ASHRAE clear sky model in the version proposed by G.L. Powell has been applied to a set of clear days from two coastal locations of Yugoslavia. The results have provided further elements to confirm the existence of a clear sky atmospheric model valid for the whole Mediterranean zone. This model is characterized by values of the atmospheric extinction coefficient higher than the corresponding ASHRAE ones with upper limits defined by the regression curve derived by using data of Palermo.
