Development of TSI Composites Using Unified Uncertainty Estimation Validated by Bland-Altman Analysis
摘要
Assessment of long-term Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) variability is essential for understanding solar forcing of the Earth system. In this study, two new TSI composites are created from satellite observations of VIRGO/PMO6Va, ACRIM-II, SORCE/TIM, TSIS/TIM and TCTE/TIM by incorporating time-dependent and instrument-specific uncertainty estimates. The square root of sunspot number (SSN) and F10.7 index were individually used as time- dependent solar proxies for Composite-1 and Composite-2 respectively. The composites of selected individual TSI datasets were merged by the inverse-variance weighting method. The uncertainty values for both composites largely fall within the 2
