Abstract
Solar maps of Pakistan have been prepared using visible data from Geos tationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES). The attenuation of solar radiation in the atmosphere has been also incorporated in the computer model. The data for this project were collected from INSAT s atellite, which corresponds to 11:00 h local standard time. (C) 1998 E lsevier Science Ltd.
