SORCE solar spectral irradiance variability. The SORCE solar spectral irradiance variability results from Woods et al. (2015), shown in black, are compared to the SATIRE-S (blue) and NRLSSI (red) model estimates for solar variability between February 2002 (max) to December 2008 (min). The top panel shows the relative variability in percent, and the bottom panel shows the absolute variability in irradiance units. The dashed lines are out-of-phase (negative) solar cycle variability results. The irradiance variability (max-min) in broadbands is provided, and those numbers are in units of mW/m2. The total variability is for the 115 to 1600 nm range. This figure is adapted from Woods et al. (2015)
