Abstract

Results of the analysis of existential variability of total solar radiation in the territory of Western Siberia are presented. It is shown that in the South and the southwest of Western Siberia the tendency of a negative trend of coming solar radiation is noted. In the south of Western Siberia the maximum receipt of total radiation is registered in June–July depending on the year of measurements, and in the north – in July. The minimum variations of the monthly sums of total radiation are observed during the summer period (2–15 of %).
