Reconstruction of total and spectral solar irradiance from 1974 to 2013 based on KPVT, SoHO/MDI and SDO/HMI observations (2014, methodology): “…and the SUSIM (version 22, 115 to 410 nm, Brueckner et al. 1993; Floyd et al. 2003) experiments onboard the UARS mission, and SOLSTICE (level 3, version 12, 114 to 310 nm, McClintock et al. 2005; Snow et al. 2005a) and SIM (level 3, version 19, 240 to 2416 nm, Harder et al. 2005a,b) onboard SORCE.”
Solar Irradiance Reference Spectra (SIRS) for the 2008 Whole Heliosphere Interval (WHI) (2008, methodology): “The SORCE Solar Stellar Irradiance Comparison Experiment (SOLSTICE) [McClintock et al., 2005a, 2005b; Snow et al., 2005] provides the solar irradiance with 0.1-nm resolution between 116 and 310 nm.”
Solar Surface Magnetism and Irradiance on Time Scales from Days to the 11-Year Cycle (2009, methodology): “magnetic flux tubes), are found in sizes that reach from about 100 km to a significant fraction of the solar surface (Meunier 2003). Magnetic field strengths up to 6 kG (in an extreme case) are found in the photosphere, see Solanki (2003), Livingston et al.”
Recent variability of the solar spectral irradiance and its impact on climate modelling (2012, methodology): “The latter method has been developed by Woods (2012) and ap-490 plied to data during last solar cycle minimum (2008–2009) to estimate possible degradation trends for SORCE/SIM and SORCE/SOLSTICE.”
