SOLSTICE High Resolution Daily Product File Summary
The SORCE SOLSTICE Solar Spectral Irradiance (SSI) High Resolution data product is constructed using measurements from the SORCE SOLSTICE instrument, which are merged into daily solar spectra over the spectral intervals shown in table below. This data product provides a higher resolution version of the SOLSTICE data product on a fixed wavelength scale, sampled at 0.025nm intervals. Irradiances are reported at a mean solar distance of 1 AU and zero relative line-of-sight velocity with respect to the Sun.

Overview
Provides precise daily measurements of solar spectral irradiance at ultraviolet wavelengths from 115 nm to 310 nm with a native spectral resolution of approximately 0.1 nm.
SOLSTICE makes daily solar irradiance measurements and compares them to the irradiance from an ensemble of 18 stable early-type stars. This approach provides an accurate monitor of instrument in-flight performance and provides a basis for solar-stellar irradiance comparison for future generations.
