TIMED SEE Level2A: Solar Irradiance Measurements Averaged and Corrected

TIMED SEE Level2A data provides solar irradiance measurements from the EUV Grating Spectrograph aboard the Solar EUV Experiment. The data is averaged over each measurement, corrected to 1 AU, and flares are removed. It is produced by NASA, with the latest metadata update recorded on 2026-03-13.

Use Cases

• Modeling solar irradiance variability based on the 14-15 daily measurements.
• Analyzing long-term solar trends based on the 1-AU corrected data.
• Studying quiet Sun conditions based on the flare-removed data.

Strengths

• Data is corrected to a standard 1 AU distance.
• Flares are removed, providing a baseline for quiet Sun analysis.
• Measurements are taken approximately every 97 minutes, yielding 14-15 data points per day.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
