The purpose of this study is to compare statistically correlations for estimating the monthly average daily global/diffuse radiation incident on a horizontal surface and to recommend one in each category that best fits measured data from a number of locations chosen and is the simplest to use. The effects of using the new solar constant of 1367 Wm/sup -2/ in these correlations are also investigated. As a result, Rietveld's and Page's correlations are recommended for estimating monthly average daily global and diffuse radiation incident on a horizontal surface, respectively. In addition, these correlations seem to work just as well with the new solar constant.
