Abstract

The detailed analysis of variations in sunshine characteristics in Moscow in 1955–2017 is provided using observational data from the Moscow State University Meteorological Observatory. The regression equations between sunshine duration and radiation characteristics are derived. The possibility of their application to different geographic regions is assessed.
