Abstract

NASA’s Total and Spectral Solar Irradiance Sensor-1 (TSIS-1) operates on the International Space Station. TSIS-1 provides absolute measurements of the total solar irradiance (TSI) and spectral solar irradiance (SSI), important for accurate scientific models of climate change and solar variability. TSIS-1 is comprised of two instruments, the Total Irradiance Monitor (TIM), and the Spectral Irradiance Monitor (SIM). This repository archives Version 1 (V01) of the TSIS-1 SIM Level 3 (L3) data release, and contains SSI in two cadences, 12-hour and 24-hour. The TSIS-1 SIM L3 V12 data release contains data from 2018-03-14 to 2019-08-13. See the attached TSIS_SIM_V01_Release_Notes.pdf or the TSIS SIM Data Products Release Notes page (https://lasp.colorado.edu/tsis/data/ssi-data/sim-ssi-release-notes/) for further details, and instructions for obtaining the latest TSIS-1 SIM L3 data release. Data is archived in ASCII, netCDF, and IDL SAVfile format.
