Solar Irradiance | NASA Earthdata
Solar irradiance is the measurement of the Sun's energy reaching the top of Earth's atmosphere at a mean distance at one moment in time. Solar irradiance, also known as the solar constant, is often used to calibrate visible-light band instruments aboard Earth-observing satellites.
NASA’s Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE) Mission …
After 17 years in orbit, NASA’s Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment mission ended as planned on February 25, 2020. This highly successful NASA Earth Observing System mission provided a groundbreaking data record of total solar irradiance (TSI) and spectral solar irradiance (SSI), two key inputs for atmosphere and climate modeling. The ...
New TEMPO Beta Level 1 Data Products | NASA Earthdata
Feb 27, 2024 · The Level 1 Geolocated Earth Radiance/Solar Irradiance products contain information on radiometrically and wavelength calibrated Earth radiance/solar irradiance for the ultraviolet (UV) and visible bands, corresponding noise, parameterized wavelength grid, viewing geometry, quality flags, and other ancillary information.
A Comparison of Solar Total Irradiance Observations from …
Mar 15, 1994 · The variation in the total irradiance time series is positively correlated with the 11-year solar cycle. The high solar activity periods of solar cycle 21 (1978 through 1981), the decay (1982 through 1984), the solar minimum years (1985 through 1986), followed by the rise (1987 through 1988) and the high activity periods (1989 through 1992) of ...
The minimum for the yearly mean solar irradiance, and the solar activity minimum both occurred in 1986. However, the maximum value of the yearly mean irradiance was observed differently by ERBS ERBE and Nimbus-7 ERB, possibly due to the drift in the Nimbus-7 ERB irradiance data. The amplitude of the variation
Bhadla Solar Park, India | NASA Earthdata
NASA's Earth science data collection includes data related to Sun-Earth interactions, such as solar spectral irradiance data as well as solar particle fluxes and their effects on Earth's magnetosphere. Harnessing this solar radiation through mirrors, solar cells, and other collection methods is an efficient way to produce electricity ...
SOLSTICE | NASA Earthdata
NASA's Solar-Stellar Irradiance Comparison Experiment (SOLSTICE) was an ultraviolet spectrometer that measured the solar spectral irradiance of the total solar disk in the ultraviolet.
Atmosphere | NASA Earthdata
We have thousands of data collections covering topics such as aerosol optical depth, aerosol indexes, chlorine dioxide levels, primary forcing measurements, irradiance products, atmospheric temperatures, binned water vapor mixing ratios, surface turbulent fluxes, rainfall estimates as well as hurricane and severe storm measurements.
Eye on the Sun: Solstice | NASA Earthdata
Oct 16, 2020 · Then, during the daylight portion of the orbit, the spectrometer measures the solar spectral irradiance of the total solar disk in the ultraviolet wavelengths from 115 to 430 nanometers. "The idea is that the bright stars that we have selected are very stable in the ultraviolet range," said Dr. Dan Gablehouse, Program Manager for the UARS ...
