Abstract
By means of an established regression between monthly global solar radiation and monthly number of sunshine hours for eight stations in Sweden the global solar radiation has been calculated from values of sunshine hours for 35 Swedish stations for the period 1931-60. The distribution of global solar radiation in Sweden then has been mapped for the months April-September and the year.
Potential evapotranspiration from a grass-covered surface has been calculated for 27 stations in Sweden for 1931-60 making use of the Penman formula and applying the values obtained for the global solar radiation. The distribution of total potential evapotranspiration has been mapped for April-September and the year. Comparisons are made with values earlier obtained in Sweden for actual evapotranspiration and diagrams showing the annual development of the potential water balance conditions are given for some typical Swedish stations.
