Abstract In this paper the application of an atmospheric model proposed by S. Barbaro et al. in a previous work for computing the direct and diffuse solar radiation is extended to some actinometric stations in Sicily, namely Gela, Messina, Pantelleria, Trapani and Ustica. The comparison of the monthly average values of the global radiation computed by this method with the experimental data shows a good agreement, that confirms the encouraging results obtained for Palermo in the previous work. This further test of the validity of the proposed model allows this one may be used with good reliability to predict the radiation on locations lacking in actinometric instruments. Finally, the influence of the diffuse component on the global radiation is computed and the results are plotted with the relative regression curves.
