Description:
Information on solar irradiance at wavelengths below 185 nm, observed by the EUVS experiment on the AE-E satellite over the entire development of the present sunspot cycle 21, is important to a variety of investigations of planetary thermospheres and ionospheres. Since strictly observational information is generally lacking in both the completeness and the spectral detail required by the more advanced programs, it has been necessary to develop computer models in connection with fully detailed compilations of an appropriate reference spectrum. The period of July 13-18, 1976, is selected as an observationally reliable AE-E data reference period reflecting solar conditions of minimum activity for solar cycle 21. It is pointed out that the assignments of absolute irradiance-reference values have been drawn for all available sources of information other than that provided by AE-E.
