SORCE On-line Data Access
Please review the Data Quality Information Summary before using the SORCE data.
The Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE) mission measures the
solar radiation incident at the Earth's atmosphere. There are four instruments
that make up SORCE: the Total Irradiance Monitor (TIM), the Solar Stellar
Irradiance Comparison Experiment (SOLSTICE), the Spectral Irradiance Monitor
(SIM), and the XUV Photometer System (XPS). TIM will measure the total
solar irradiance (TSI) with high accuracy, while the other three instruments
will measure the solar spectral irradiance from x-rays, to ultraviolet, visible
and into the near infrared (1 to 35 and 115 to 2000 nm). Please note that the
SORCE SSI data products are written using the Hierarchical Data Format version 5 (HDF5),
whereas the SORCE TSI data files are in ASCII format.
The link in the "Data Products" column below will take you to a page listing
the data availability for that particular product.
| Data Product | Description | Begin Date | End Date | Number of Items |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SOR3SSID | SORCE Level 3 Solar Spectral Irradiance Daily Average | 2003-05-14 00:00:00 | 2008-12-31 23:59:59 | 2030 |
| SOR3TSI6 | SORCE Level 3 Total Solar Irradiance 6-Hour Average | 2003-02-25 00:00:00 | 2009-07-17 23:59:59 | 5 |
| SOR3TSID | SORCE Level 3 Total Solar Irradiance Daily Average | 2003-02-25 00:00:00 | 2009-07-17 23:59:59 | 5 |
Software for these data products are available. The GES DAAC archives the solar spectral irradiance data from the UARS SOLSTICE and SUSIM instruments. There are also total solar irradiance data from Nimbus-7 ERB, ERBS, ACRIM-I/SMM and ACRIM-II/UARS, which are part of our interdisciplinary data collection.
