SOlar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE)
Image of SORCE

The SORCE mission (launched January 23, 2003) will study the variability of the Sun and its impact on the Earth"s Climate.
Movie   ID   Title
Close-up on the sunspot group.   2656   Zoom-out from the Sun
High solar activity - March 28, 2001   2644   The Solar 'Constant' - Faculae vs. Sunspots
This short film explores the vital connection between the Earth and the Sun, and includes an interview with Dr. Robert Cahalan, head of the NASA Goddard Climate and Radiation Branch.

SORCE-XPS
Movie   ID   Title
The X17 solar flare on October 28, 2003   2918   SORCE Monitors Solar Variability during Record Solar Flares - Video version
The MONSTER: X28 solar flare on November 4, 2003   2917   SORCE Monitors Solar Variability during Record Solar Flares

SORCE-TIM
Movie   ID   Title
The short version of the Cryosphere Tour, with narration and music.   3355   A Short Tour of the Cryosphere
VIDEO WITH MUSIC AND CAPTIONS   3181   A Tour of the Cryosphere
This animation shows incoming solar flux corresponding to 29 orbits (2 days) of CERES measurements, from June 20-21, 2003. This data is calculated using data from SORCE for the flux magnitude at the Earths orbit, coupled with solar incidence angles based on CERES measurement locations and times. The measurements are superimposed over a global infrared cloud cover composite from the same period.   3178   Incoming Solar Flux Compared to Clouds (WMS)
This animation shows net radiation flux corresponding to 29 orbits (2 days) of CERES measurements, from June 20-21, 2003. This data is calculated from CERES outgoing longwave and shortwave measurements, along with a corresponding calculated incoming solar flux. The measurements are superimposed over a global infrared cloud cover composite from the same period.   3177   Net Radiation Flux Compared to Clouds (WMS)
This animation shows the solar radiance on the Earth at noon on the Greenwich meriidian for June 20, 2003 through June 19, 2004 as calculated from measurements made by the TIM instrument on SORCE.   3109   Solar Irradiance (WMS)
This animation shows net radiation flux corresponding to 29 orbits (2 days) of CERES measurements, from June 20-21, 2003. This data is calculated from CERES outgoing longwave and shortwave measurements, along with a corresponding calculated incoming solar flux.   3106   Instantaneous Net Radiation Flux (WMS)
This animation shows incoming solar flux corresponding to 29 orbits (2 days) of CERES measurements, from June 20-21, 2003. This data is calculated using data from SORCE for the flux magnitude at the Earths orbit, coupled with solar incidence angles based on CERES measurement locations and times.   3105   Instantaneous Incoming Solar Flux (WMS)
