The browser pictures side showing radiation

If the show means button is down (pushed in), long- term average radiation values are overlaid over the current radiation values with straight lines connecting the long-term monthly values. These long-term averages are the same values as in the weather parameters you can change on the numbers side of the browser.

To switch between bar and line graphs, click the bar graph or line graph buttons. To change the color of the graphed bars or lines, click on the colored box at the bottom of the browser and choose a new color from the window that appears. To rescale the graph, click the rescale button.

The radiation shown is the amount of radiation falling on the plants, after coming through the atmosphere and clouds. Radiation depends greatly on rainfall as a measure of cloudiness.
