By HERBERT H. I<IMBALL, solar Radiation Investigations
For a descri tion of instruments and exposures and
measurements the reader is referred to the REVIEW for January, 1924, 52:42 and Januaryl 1935, 53 29.
From Table 1 it is seen that solar radiation intensities averaged below normal values for May at all three stations. Table 2 shows that the total solar and sky radiation received on a horizontal surface avera od above normal
been determined. At Washington skylight polarization measurements made on 6 days give a mean of 48 per cent, with a masimum of 56 er cent on the ad. At Madison,
cent with a maximum of 60 per cent on the 33d. These are slightly below normal values for May a t both stations.
