The objective of this analysis was to determine whether the long-term scintillation follows the log normal or gamma distribution. It was found that the long term probability distribution follows the log-normal distribution. The short term probability distribution also follows the log-normal model for the driest and the wettest month. It has been proven that the log-normal model is also suitable for prediction at moderate angles.}, journal = {American Journal of Applied Sciences}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
