The choice of reference SSI spectrum has consistently changed over the past four decades with the increasing availability of more accurate SSI measurements with greater spectral coverage. Considerable differences (up to 15% at certain wavelengths) exist between the numerous SSI spectra that are currently being used in satellite ground processing systems. The aim of this study is to quantify the absolute differences between the most commonly used SSI datasets and investigate their impact in satellite inter-calibration and environmental retrievals. It was noted that if analogous SNPP and NOAA-20 VIIRS channel reflectances were perfectly inter-calibrated, the derived channel radiances can still differ by up to 3% due to the utilization of differing SSI datasets by the two VIIRS instruments. This paper also highlights a TSIS-1 SIM-based Hybrid Solar Reference Spectrum (HSRS) with an unprecedented absolute accuracy of 0.3% between 460 and 2365 nm, and recommends that the remote sensing community use it as a common reference SSI in satellite retrievals.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13081438","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,8]],"date-time":"2021-04-08T21:27:44Z","timestamp":1617917264000},"page":"1438","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Quantifying the Impact of Solar Spectra on the Inter-Calibration of Satellite Instruments"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7680-4086","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rajendra","family":"Bhatt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Science Systems and Applications, Inc., Hampton, VA 23666, USA"}]},{"given":"David R.","family":"Doelling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, VA 23681, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4338-7028","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Odele","family":"Coddington","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO 80303, USA"}]},{"given":"Benjamin","family":"Scarino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Science Systems and Applications, Inc., Hampton, VA 23666, USA"}]},{"given":"Arun","family":"Gopalan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Science Systems and Applications, Inc., Hampton, VA 23666, USA"}]},{"given":"Conor","family":"Haney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Science Systems and Applications, Inc., Hampton, VA 23666, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2","DOI":"10.12942\/lrsp-2007-2","article-title":"The Sun and the Earth\u2019s Climate","volume":"4","author":"Haigh","year":"2007","journal-title":"Living Rev.
