EFFECT OF SOLAR RADIATION CLAYTON 



The next step was to plot the observations of solar radiation and 

 temperature. From this plot, it became evident that the minor fluctua- 

 tion of solar radiation of two to five days between the maxima were 

 reflected in the temperature to a much less extent than were the longer

oscillations. For this reason, an attempt was made to smooth out 

 the small irregularities by taking the mean of all the observations of 

 solar radiation during each successive interval of five days. In one 

 or two cases where there were only two observations within the five
