Solar Irradiance Variability
... Solar irradiance varies with the 11-year solar cycle, being higher during solar maximum (about 0.1% for TSI) During the last 30 years of space measurements, TSI shows a decline after 1980 of about 50 mWm-2 /decade. Comparing the minima values this is most pronounced in cycle 23. This recent decrease ...
