1341-1349Albedo variations with respect to different weather conditions with the observed shortwave radiation data over Arabian Sea using Pyranometer, during June to August 2002, and March -June 2003. The hourly albedo variations are analysed and presented in relation with solar altitude (SinH) and transmission factor (TF). TF classified into three groups: under clear sky (TF > 0.65), partly cloudy (0.4 12 m/s), there is no significant changes observed in albedo. Variations in TF and albedo during the overcast conditions are significant, however wind also dominating
