Linke Turbidity Factor for Braşov Urban Area

Abstract

Atmospheric turbidity is an important parameter for assessing the air pollution in local areas, as well as being the main parameter controlling the attenuation of solar radiation reaching the Earth’s surface under cloudless sky conditions. The paper proposes a study of the Linke’s turbidity factor, calculated on the basis of the meteorological data recorded during three years, in Brasov urban area. The obtained results are presented as comparative diagrams (variation of the monthly mean values depending on time).
