Sunspots and the solar constant
Abstract
Satellite records of variations in the solar constant from 1980 February to July are correlated with sunspot counts from the same period. A function relating the solar constant to sunspot numbers is proposed, and used to generate a sequence of variation from 1980 to 1993.
