The influence of Kuwait's 1991 Oil-Fire smoke cloud on incident total horizontal solar radiation has been investigated using measurements made at the automatic solar radiation and meteorological monitoring station in Dhahran (26° 32′N, 50° 13′E), Saudi Arabia. Results indicate that the global horizontal irradiance on smoky days was 70–87% of that on clear/non-smoky days and that the Clearness Index was about 50%.
