Information on solar irradiance at wavelengths below 185 nm, observed by the EUVS experiment on the AE‐E satellite over the entire development of the present sunspot cycle 21, is important to many investigations of planetary thermospheres and ionospheres. Strictly observational information is generally lacking in both the completeness and the spectral detail required by the more advanced study programs. Therefore, it has been necessary also to develop computer models in connection with fully detailed compilations of an appropriate reference spectrum. Our selection of appropriate forms of effective publication has been difficult for various reasons. Recognizing that full reproduction of our various lists of observational, reference, and model data in scientific journals would be impracticable, we started a more or less informal procedure of timely release of information to a limited number of particularly interested colleagues. With the present letter, we hope to mitigate at least some of the dissatisfactory aspects of this procedure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
