Abstract
Measurements of insolation at sea are reported and used to compare with a recent empirical formula for computing insolation. The measured and computed results are in good general agreement over a vast region of the eastern Pacific between 7°S and 66°N. Measurements and computations differ by a few percent in the mean over some regions, apparently because of atypical cloud cover.Keywords
