Statistical properties of superflares on solar-type stars based on 1-min cadence data (2015, background): “In the case of the X17 (1)solar flare (Kopp et al. 2005), the rise time is about 4 min.”
The GFDL CM3 Coupled Climate Model: Characteristics of the Ocean and Sea Ice Simulations (2011, methodology): “1 simulations, we switched to a smaller constant (reducing the net solar fluxes reaching the earth by about 1 W m(22)), as recommended for the AR5 assessment based on new solar irradiance measurements (Kopp et al. 2005).”
The global energy balance from a surface perspective (2013, background): “A slightly lower planetary imbalance of 0.58 Wm-2 is obtained by Hansen et al. (2011) for the same period, if the Levitus et al. (2009) upper ocean heat uptake estimate is used instead.”
A new, lower value of total solar irradiance: Evidence and climate significance (2011, methodology): “The TIM reports solar minimum TSI values of 1360.8 ± 0.5 Wm−2, lower by 4.6 Wm−2 than prior space‐borne measurements [Kopp et al., 2005b].”
SOLAR INFLUENCES ON CLIMATE (2010, unknown): “…all data sets to the Space Absolute Radiometric 7 of 53 Reference [Crommelynck et al., 1995], although this absolute calibration has recently been called into question because the Total Irradiance Monitor instrument on the SORCE satellite has obtained values about 5 W m−2 lower [Kopp et al., 2005].”
Evolution of the solar irradiance during the Holocene (2011, methodology): “…to match the PMOD composite A6, page 7 of 20 level, although observations employing the SORCE/TIM instrument suggest that the absolute value during the minimum between cycles 23−24 is approximately 4−5 W/m2 lower than that measured by other current instruments (Kopp et al. 2005; Kopp & Lean 2011).”
Recent variability of the solar spectral irradiance and its impact on climate modelling (2012, methodology): “…PREMOS Nov 2010 1360.5±0.4 Schmutz et al. (2009) The PREMOS experiment on the French satellite PICARD, which was launched in July 2010, has con-700 tributed to the understanding of the instrument offsets, by confirming the lower TSI value initially reported by the SORCE/TIM (Kopp et al., 2005).”
NOMINAL VALUES FOR SELECTED SOLAR AND PLANETARY QUANTITIES: IAU 2015 RESOLUTION B3 (2016, methodology): “The TIM/SORCE experiment established a lower TSI value than previously reported based on the fully characterized TIM instrument (Kopp et al. 2005; Kopp & Lean 2011).”
Reconstruction of total and spectral solar irradiance from 1974 to 2013 based on KPVT, SoHO/MDI and SDO/HMI observations (2014, methodology): “…11/13, Willson & Mordvinov 2003), the DIARAD (Crommelynck & Domingo 1984; Dewitte et al. 2004a) and PMO6V (Brusa & Fröhlich 1986) radiometers on SoHO/VIRGO (level 2, version 6 002 1302, Fröhlich et al. 1995, 1997), and SORCE/TIM (level 3, version 14, Kopp & Lawrence 2005; Kopp et al. 2005a,b).”
Solar change and climate: an update in the light of the current exceptional solar minimum (2010, background): “However, data from the latest instrument, the total irradiance monitor (TIM) on the SORCE satellite launched in 2003, are yielding very similar variations, but values are persistently lower (see §5 and ﬁgure 2) with (cid:4) I TS (cid:5) = 1361 W m − 2 (Kopp et al. 2005).”
Gaia FGK benchmark stars: Effective temperatures and surface gravities (2015, methodology): “2.4.2) based on an earlier measurement of the TSI with the same instrumentation (Kopp et al. 2005)22.”
Solar Forcing for CMIP6 (v3.1) (2016, methodology): “In NRLSSI2, a multiple linear regression approach of solar proxy inputs with observations of TSI from SORCE/TIM (Kopp et al., 2005), and observations of SSI from the SORCE/SOLSTICE (McClintock et al.”
The Transit Light Source Effect: False Spectral Features and Incorrect Densities for M-dwarf Transiting Planets (2017, background): “On the Sun, the disk passage of sunspots can produce relative declines in the solar total irradiance in the range of ∼ 0.1% to 0.3% (e.g., Kopp et al. 2005).”
Earth's Global Energy Budget (2009, background): “They also use a lower value for solar irradiance taken from the recent TIM observations (Kopp et al. 2005).”
