A simple method is presented for the determination of monthly values of the global solar radiation reaching the ground based on fractional insolation measurements obtained from geostationary satellite data. The method utilizes values of energy reflected by the earth-atmosphere system in the 0.6-0.9 micron Meteosat imagery band as determined from mean daily or half-daily cloud cover over 20 km x 20 km cells of the planetary surface. Preliminary testing of the method for two half-days of Meteosat 1 data over France has shown the satellite data to be compatible with ground-based heliographic measurements of fractional insolation. Further long-duration verification trials are necessary, however, to establish the bias and precision of the method.
