                         data from 22 national stations. The global root mean square error 
                         between model and ground results for all data points was 13, and 
                         the mean bias error was 1.23 MJ m-2. About 68 of the individual 
                         errors were below 10 and clustered around 8. Global radiation 
                         estimated by the model ranged from 9.0 to 27 M.1 m ` with the 
                         diffuse to global ratio failing into the 02-0.5 interval. Enhanced 
                         inverted zonal trends were found for both satellite predictions
