Abstract
Measurements of global solar radiation on a horizontal surface and duration of sunshine are presented. The abundance of solar energy in Doha (Latitude 25°18'N, Longitude 51°33'E) is evident from these data. A correlation between G(G0 and the fraction of maximum possible number of bright sunshine hours are determined for Doha and compared with the correlation for Yemen show a good agreement.Keywords
