Change in the solar constant between 1968 and 1978
Abstract
Solar irradiance measurement made from a balloon on January 27, 1978, indicates a change of +0.4% over similar measurements made in 1968. This change is greater than the experimental uncertainty of the measurement and is felt to be the result of change in the solar constant.
