Lunuwila, 1994-95) Peiris, T.S.G.; Thattil, R.O.Solar radiation is extremely useful in modelling many agricultural applications, but is hardly used due to the difficulty in obtaining data, and the time consuming process in estimating it by the angstrom (1924) formula which uses world geographical relationships. To estimate solar radiation at the Coconut Research institute, Lunuwila (7o 20'N;71o 53'E;30.5m) an alternative model was developed from measured sunshine hours data only. The model had good fit (R2=0.90,P0.001) and was found to have agreement with the estimates obtained from the Angstrom model. The alternative model is more flexible and useful in estimating crop evapotranspiration, and for crop-weather modelling. The mean daily solar radiation at Lunuwila was estimated to be 18.3 MJ m-2d-1 and the total annual solar radiation receipts is 6680 MJ m-2 (66.8 TJ ha-1). The monthly solar radiation was highest in March (21.7MJ m-2 d-1) and the estimated 75 per cent probability value was 22.5 June had the lowest (16.1 MJ m-2 d-1) value and the estimated 75 per cent probability value was 17.8.
