• Diurnal <strong>variations</strong> between 09, 12 and 15LAT for each month are<br />

smaller than the range <strong>of</strong> the annual <strong>variations</strong> <strong>of</strong> monthly mean<br />

values.<br />

• The difference in the <strong>transmittance</strong> among each observation time<br />

within the same month is less than 0.02, while the difference between<br />

the largest and smallest months is much larger and reaches 0.13.<br />

• If a prolonged missing observations existed for several months, the<br />

seasonal <strong>variations</strong> could influence the annual means. This tendency<br />

must be taken into account for calculating the annual means.
