The data record, which is part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration\u2019s (NOAA) Climate Data Record (CDR) program, provides a robust, sustainable, and scientifically defensible record of solar irradiance that is of sufficient length, consistency, and continuity for use in studies of climate variability and climate change on multiple time scales and for user groups spanning climate modeling, remote sensing, and natural resource and renewable energy industries. The data record, jointly developed by the University of Colorado\u2019s Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) and the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), is constructed from solar irradiance models that determine the changes with respect to quiet sun conditions when facular brightening and sunspot darkening features are present on the solar disk where the magnitude of the changes in irradiance are determined from the linear regression of a proxy magnesium (Mg) II index and sunspot area indices against the approximately decade-long solar irradiance measurements of the Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE). To promote long-term data usage and sharing for a broad range of users, the source code, the dataset itself, and supporting documentation are archived at NOAA\u2019s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). In the future, the dataset will also be available through the LASP Interactive Solar Irradiance Data Center (LISIRD) for user-specified time periods and spectral ranges of interest.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1175\/bams-d-14-00265.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,12,1]],"date-time":"2015-12-01T23:03:12Z","timestamp":1449010992000},"page":"1265-1282","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":262,"title":["A Solar Irradiance Climate Data Record"],"prefix":"10.1175","volume":"97","author":[{"given":"O.","family":"Coddington","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, Colorado"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.
