Solar EUV Flux-Data Analysis for EUVS Experiments on the AE-Satellites.

Abstract

One of two tasks that the Extreme Ultraviolet Spectrometers (EUVS) on-board the Atmosphere Explorer Satellites perform is flux analysis of the solar spectrum. This analysis deals with two types of data: fixed wavelength flux data and 'flux scan data'. Both types are created by programs accessing the basic daily EUVS data (one file per vehicle per day). Information on time variation in solar flux for longer periods is provided in two forms, one giving wavelength flux data and the other flux scan data. The latter covers the entire solar spectrum in the range 140 to 1850 A. (Author)
