Title: Solar variability indications from Nimbus 7 satellite data

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6878326

The cavity pyrheliometer sensor of the Nimbus 7 Earth Radiation Experiment indicated low-level variability of the total solar irradiance. The variability appears to be inversely correlated with common solar activity indicators in an event sense. The limitations of the measuring system and available data sets are described.
