Abstract: A method of evaluating the atmospheric turbidity coefficient from global solar radiation and diffuse sky radiation is formulated. By application of the present method, the turbidity coefficient is evaluated at urban (Montreal: 40°30?N, 73°37?W), suburban (Toronto: 43°48?N, 79°33?W), rural (Goose Bay: 53°18?N, 60°27?W) and arctic (Resolute: 74°43?N, 79°33?W) stations. Considering the arctic as the baseline station, its turbidity values are compared with the values of the other stations. Trends and seasonal variations of atmospheric turbidity are discussed using the data from 1966 to 1971. Turbidity values obtained from various concepts are compared.
