abstract = "The city of Rio de Janeiro and others 18 cities compose the
Metropolitan Area of Rio de Janeiro. The main objective of this
work is to characterize observationally the diurnal and seasonal
evolution of the solar radiation components in the city of Rio de
Janeiro. The measurements of global and diffuse solar radiation
and standard meteorological variables at the surface have been
carried out regularly at the Geoscience Institute of Federal
University of Rio de Janeiro since October of 2011. The
microclimatic conditions show that the period 2011-2014 was warmer
during most of the year and drier in summer and spring in
comparison with climate normal. All solar radiation components
present a well defined diurnal cycle with maximum at noon. The
estimates of global and direct solar radiation indicate a great
potential available for solar energy at the surface, particularly
in summer. The behavior of the clearness index and diffuse solar
radiation fraction is similar in summer and winter. The Angstrom
formula represents properly the estimate of the monthly average
daily value of global solar radiation. The sigmoid logistic
function is statistically more significant in comparison with
others correlation models to represent the diffuse fraction as a
function clearness index.",
