In 1984 Neckel and Labs (1984) published improved absolute solar radiation data which followed from an absolute calibration of the Fourier-transform-spectra (FTS) obtained by J. Brault at Kitt Peak. Fig. 1 shows two pages of that special solar spectrum atlas which served to derive the diverse published spectral data. The upper spectrum concerns the disk-center, the lower one the disk-averaged intensity. Both spectra are plotted in the same absolute scale (numbers on the left ordinate axis). The right ordinate axis refers to the full disk spectrum only; it yields the solar irradiance at 1 AU. These spectra, which extend from 3300 to 12500 Å and are stored on magnetic tape, allow an easy derivation of any desired spectral data; e. g. of the spectral averages for successive, rectangular passbands (10, 20 or 50 Å wide) or for any arbitrary passbands used by other observers. The maxima in successive passbands can be used to localize the level of the ‘continuum’ (dashed lines in Fig. 1).
