believed to be published for the first time. Additional insolation data, such as daily insolation, can be further derived based on Table I and the above expressions. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We are very grateful to James B. Pollack from the Space Science Division, NASA Ames Research Center for supplying us with the f(z, t) table; to James E. Tillman from the Department of Atmospheric Sciences, University of Washington for supplying the ambient temperature distribution graphs; and for their informative discussions. This work was done while the author was a National Research Council—NASA Research Associate; on sabbatical leave from Tel Aviv University. REFERENCES [1] Pollack, J.B. et al.
