h2. Solar EUV Irradiance Inter-Calibration and Validation Workshop

October 25-27, 2011
Laboratory for Atmospheric & Space Physics Room LSTB-A200
Boulder, Colorado

We are in an era when there are multiple simultaneous measurements of the solar EUV irradiance being made with instrumentation of differing design and calibration methodologies.  Comparing measurements is only the first step in understanding the true value and variability of the EUV spectral irradiance.  Understanding potential differences in results requires detailed comparisons of the instruments and methodologies used to make the measurements.

To start this process we are holding a small, invitation-only workshop at LASP in October, 2011.  The workshop will be aimed at teams that have measured the EUV irradiance in order to compare the following topics:
* Irradiance results
* Instrument design
* Measurement equation
* Sampling in time and wavelength
* Dark correction
* Calibration methodology
* Degradation models and corrections

The overarching goal of this workshop is to come to an understanding of how the EUV irradiance is being measured and to develop a unified strategy for determining the absolute value of the EUV irradiance and how it varies, both in wavelength and time.
