Abstract
Over 30 scientists and calibration specialists gathered at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland, for the first Solar Spectral Irradiance (SSI) Variations Workshop, Feb. 28-March 1, 2012. The purpose of the workshop was to address the interesting and conflicting differences for the reported SSI variations during the Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE) Mission and other missions. The SORCE science team, in collaboration with NIST and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) met with other SSI instrument teams and calibration experts to examine these discrepancies by focusing on issues primarily related to differences in understanding degradation trends that affect the measurement of solar cycle variations in irradiance.
