Abstract

           In this research, the monthly average daily cloud amount estimation model is developed from the monthly average daily global solar  radiation data in Puketi province between 2006 - 2016 , and test the model with data from  2017 - 2019.    In  this  study ,  nine  empirical  models  were  derived from the  Angström - Prescott linear regression  model and  its derivatives such  as   quadratic ,  cubic ,  logarithmic ,  exponential   and   power.   The result found that  the  best  performance  model  was  correlated  between the ratio of monthly   average   daily   cloud   amount  to  maximum  cloud volume   of   measurement  {C_{0}}) ,   and   the   monthly   average   daily   global  solar  radiation  per  daily  extraterrestrial  radiation  H_{0})  as  H_{0})-0.9193&space;\right&space;] .  That  provides  statistical analysis  results  are  the  correlation  coefficient  (R) ,  the  Nash - Sutcliffe coefficient  (NS)  ,   root  mean   square   error  (RMSE) ,    mean  bias  error (MBE) ,   mean   absolute   bias   error  (MABE) ,   mean   percentage   error (MPE) ,  mean  absolute  percentage  error  (MAPE)  and   t-statistic  (t-stat) equal  to   0.884   0.781   0.468   0.310   0.340   5.086%   5.561%   and   2.929 , respectively.     This   received   a    global   performance    indicator   (GPI) assignment  of  0.619.   According  to  the results ,  the  exponential  model predicted  and  the  measurements  are  consistent  and can be  applied to other a similar climate area.
