The Solar EUV Experiment (SEE) on the Thermosphere-Ionosphere-Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) spacecraft measures the solar soft x-ray and EUV spectrum from 0.1 to 200 nm. Wavelengths below 30 nm, referred to as soft X-rays, are measured in broadband channels consisting of photodiodes with thin film filters deposited directly on the diode surfaces. This same technique is used by the Student Nitric Oxide Explorer (SNOE) satellite, which has been making daily solar observations since March of 1998. Preliminary comparisons of SEE and SNOE data show reasonable agreement between the two experiments. The SEE measurements support the conclusion that earlier measurements and empirical models of the solar soft X-ray irradiance underestimate the actual irradiance at all levels of solar activity. In this talk we will present the preliminary results from the SEE solar soft X-ray measurements and show their comparison with SNOE observations.
