Abstract
This study arose from the need for a detailed documentation of the solar radiation (SR) climate of the Midwest region. Because the network of SR measurements for this region is either sparse or lacking in longevity, a semi-physical SR model based on Meyers and Dale (1983) was implemented. A 40-year (1948-1987) data base of daily SR values was created for 53 stations in the Midwest.
