Abstract: Using the diffused and global solar irradiation measured during summer (June, July and August) some useful atmospheric parameters have been calculated. These parameters are the horizontal visibility (VIS), horizontal optical density (K), precipitable water (W), transmittance due to aerosol τ(A) and the turbidity coefficient (β). The average calculated values for these parameters in Bahrain are 12.3 km, 0.318 km−1, 107 mm, 0.717 and 0.185 respectively. These calculated values seem to be reasonably accurate when compared with those obtained by using methods other than the solar radiation data.
