Overview

abstract

  • We present a new solar irradiance reference spectrum representative of; solar minimum conditions between solar cycles 24 and 25. The Total and; Spectral Solar Irradiance Sensor-1 (TSIS-1) Hybrid Solar Reference; Spectrum (HSRS) is developed by applying a modified spectral ratio; method to normalize very high spectral resolution solar line data to the; absolute irradiance scale of the TSIS-1 Spectral Irradiance Monitor; (SIM) and the CubeSat Compact SIM (CSIM). The high spectral resolution; solar line data are the Air Force Geophysical Laboratory ultraviolet; solar irradiance balloon observations, the ground-based Quality; Assurance of Spectral Ultraviolet Measurements In Europe Fourier; transform spectrometer solar irradiance observations, the Kitt Peak; National Observatory solar transmittance atlas, and the semi-empirical; Solar Pseudo-Transmittance Spectrum atlas. The TSIS-1 HSRS spans 202 nm; to 2730 nm at 0.01 to ~0.001 nm spectral resolution with; uncertainties of 0.3% between 460 and 2365 nm and 1.3% at wavelengths; outside that range.
