 note = {Using a statistical method, the relation between the hourly solar radiation TH and the hourly cloud cover CC, sunshine ratio SH, and rain and snow index RS was studied. On the basis of the results, a formula for predicting the value of TH as a function of CC, SH, and RS was drawn out. A simulation program was also developed which can estimate the hourly values of CC, SH, and RS, throughout a year , if several statistical quantities indicating the characteristics of CC, SH, and RS and the relations among them are given as input data. In addition, the program numerically determines the indefinite parts of CC, SH, and RS by the Monte Carlo method as probability problems. If the simulated CC, SH, and RS values are put in the formula for TH, then the TH value can be calculated. By the procedure stated above, CC, SH, and TH values were generated throughout a year by inputting statistical quantities picked out of the hourly weather observations at Kagoshima City in 1975. The calculations were compared with the observations from several viewpoints of statistical characteristics, and the statistical characteristics of the calculations were found to correspond well with those actually observed.},
