ESWW9, Brussels, Nov 4-7 2012 Margit Haberreiter FP7 Space Project SOLID • SOLID: First European Comprehensive SOLar Irradiance Data exploitation • Coordinator PMOD/WRC (W. Schmutz, Project Manager: M. Haberreiter) • Start: December 2012 • 10 Partners from 7 European Countries (CH, F, B, UK, D, EL, I) • Compilation and Analysis of the existing irradiance observations from the XUV/EUV, UV, visible to the IR along with the state-of-the-art irradiance modelling results Poster 3.1 Haberreiter et. al
ESWW9, Brussels, Nov 4-7 2012 Margit Haberreiter Conclusion • Understanding the physical mechanisms that drive solar spectral irradiance variations is important for Space Weather studies • Successful reconstruction based on EIT image analysis • Improvement of implementation of extended corona • Extend the reconstruction to PROBA2 time series based on SWAP decomposition • More to come soon within the FP7 SOLID project
