Description
The SORCE SIM Level 3 TSIS-Adjusted Values Solar Spectral Irradiance 24-Hour Means data product (SOR3SIMD_TAV) uses the temporal overlap of the Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE) and the Total and Spectral Solar Irradiance Sensor (TSIS-1) Spectral Irradiance Monitor (SIM) instruments to create an alternate SORCE-SIM irradiance calibration, known as the TSIS1 Adjusted Values (TAV). The SORCE-SIM Solar Spectral Irradiance (SSI) data products are provided on a fixed wavelength scale which varies in spectral resolution from 1-34 nm over the spectral range from 240 to 2401 nm. Irradiances are reported at a mean solar distance of 1 AU and zero relative line-of-sight velocity with respect to the Sun. The TAV data is on the SORCE-SIM wavelength scale, with the exception that the longest TAV wavelength is 2401.4 nm.
All of the SOR3SIMD_TAV data are arranged in a single file in a tabular ASCII text file which can be easily read into a spreadsheet application. The columns contain the date, Julian day, minimum wavelength, maximum wavelength, instrument mode, data version number, irradiance value, irradiance uncertainty, and data quality. The rows are arranged with data at each wavelength over the full SIM wavelength range, repeating for each day for the length of the measurement period.
