Dear all,

I am little bit confusion about solar radiation measurement.  We
have one automatic weather station of Delta-T make and configured
the logger for hourly recording with every 10 minutes sensing and
taking the average of 6 reading as the mean of that particular
hour.  We are getting solar radiation in Wm-2 units. For one day,
there will be 24 values. For example, for a particular day 2 pm =
1024 Wm-2.   In all models viz., DSSAT, SWAP, SPAW require solar
radiation in KJm-2 per day.   Here problem is that how the point
value of 24 solar radiation values will convert into KJm-2 per
day?  Kindly please help me.  Thank you very much for spending
your valuable time for me.  Have a nice and good day.

Thanking you,

With kind regards,


Sincerely yours,
