Understanding the secular variability of solar irradiance: the potential of Ca II K observations
With the increasing concern about climate change, it is important to have accurate information on the individual contributions by the potential driving agents, solar variability being one of them.

Solar Total Irradiance Monitor (TIM) [PDF]
The Total Irradiance Monitor (TIM), an active-cavity solar radiometer, is to be launched in 2002 on the SORCE mission of the Earth Observing System (EOS). The relative uncertainty (1 σ) will be better than 10−4, i.e. 100 parts per million (ppm) (1 σ) with a noise level of < 1 ppm each 500 s.

The Sun is the primary source of energy for Earth and one of the main external drivers of its climate. Solar irradiance – the radiative power emitted by the Sun and received at 1 AU – varies on all observable timescales. It is measured as the total solar

Solar spectral irradiance variability in cycle 24: observations and models
Utilizing the excellent stability of the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), we characterize both short-term (solar rotation) and long-term (solar cycle) changes of the solar spectral irradiance (SSI) between 265 and 500 nm during the ongoing cycle 24. We

Total solar irradiance during the Holocene [PDF]
For the first time a record of total solar irradiance covering 9300 years is presented, which covers almost the entire Holocene. This reconstruction is based on a recently observationally derived relationship between total solar irradiance and the open solar magnetic field.

Total Solar Irradiance and Stroke Mortality by Neural Networks Modelling
The purpose of this study was to examine the potential effect of solar energy on vascular stroke mortality in a Greek region by using neural networks analysis. The time period studied was from 1985 to 1989.
