摘要

Abstract

An accurate solar-irradiance spectrum is needed as an input to any planetary atmosphere or climate model. Depending on the spectral characteristics of the chosen model

uncertainties in the irradiance may introduce significant differences in atmospheric and climate predictions. This is why several solar spectral-irradiance data sets have been published during the last decade. They have been obtained by different methods: either measurements from a single instrument or a composite of different spectra

or they are theoretical or semi-empirical solar models. In this paper

these spectral datasets will be compared in terms of irradiance

power per spectral interval

their derived solar-atmosphere brightness temperature

and time series. Whatever the different sources of these spectra are

they generally agree to within their quoted accuracy. The solar-rotation effect simultaneously observed by SORCE and PREMOS–PICARD is accurately measured. The 11-year long-term variability remains a difficult task

given the weak activity of solar cycle 24 and long-term instrument aging.
