From 1926 to 1969, a long term solar full disk observation was done by Kyoto University. Daily Ca II K (393.4 nm) spectroheliographic images and white light images were recorded on photographic plates. In this report, we will give the current status of our project to digitize all these images and to construct a database of these images for public use through the IUGONET system. In addition, we will discuss our perspective on the scientific analysis of the database by taking the solar CaII K brightness as a proxy measure of the solar UV irradiance on the terrestrial upper atmosphere.
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.
