Scientific paper

Thirty years ago, scientists from the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., and the National Physical Laboratory, Jerusalem reported ``severe changes over the years in solar radiation'' and issued a call for ``a careful study of incoming radiation at different places throughout the world...to determine the exact kind, order of magnitude and their causes...''. The ``severe changes'' referred to emerged from the measurements at the site of the Smithsonian Institution's former solar radiation monitoring station on Mount St. Katherine in the southern Sinai peninsula (28°31' N, 33°56'E, 2643 m altitude). Measurements using modern radiometers as well as some of the original instruments used between 1933 and 1937 showed a 12% loss in global radiation during the intervening four-decade interval.
