SOLAR-v: A new solar spectral irradiance dataset based on SOLAR/SOLSPEC observations during Solar Cycle 24

Variations of solar spectral irradiance are the most important natural factor in the terrestrial climate and as such, the time dependent spectral solar irradiance is a crucial input to any climate modelling. A better understanding of the long-term solar variations over timescales of the 11-year solar activity cycle and longer is very important. Thus, each new solar spectral irradiance dataset based on long-term observations represents a major interest and can be used for further investigations of the long-term trend of solar activity and the construction of a homogeneous Solar Spectral Irradiance (SSI)record for Solar cycle 24.
