Test the capability of the models to reproduce the emergent intensity: main results Mod E reproduces the network CLV Computed/Measured 0.05% difference until m=0.3 Mod P and Mod H do not reproduce the measured facular CLV Mod F reproduces the facular CLV with a difference less than 1% until m=0.3 Mod P and Mod H produce negative continuum facular contrast at the m=1 , not measured Slight model modifications to optimize details of this comparison Small C variation in time (2000> 2003-04) Dependence on the feature id: Mag > CaII K > B-R > Chapman meth
Count magnetic “ingredients” of solar variability 5 components -> 86% of TSI variance

Reconstruction of the disk integrated spectrum (VIRGO TSI): Main results Magnetic “ingredients” of solar variability Spot (umbra, penumbra), faculae, network -> 86% of TSI variance Spot (umbra, penumbra), faculae, quiet sun -> 98% of TSI variance Their respective weight Whether variation of the coverage factors alone and/or emergent intensity Study limitations of decomposing the Sun into structures The use of a set of 1D models simplifies the approach, but needs a correct determination of the coverage factors, that are strongly dependent on the feature identification procedures. Feature id more important than spatial scale and seeing effects
