Scientific paper

Solar irradiance varies in tune with solar activity. The irradiance changes show a strong wavelength dependence, being an order of magnitude larger in the UV than in the visible. The spectral dependence of the irradiance variations can be used to differentiate between mechanisms that may be responsible for the irradiance changes. I review some of the mechanisms that have been invoked in the past to explain the solar irradiance variations and compare their predicted spectral irradiance changes with solar irradiance measurements. The comparisons imply that surface magnetic features alone are sufficient to explain solar irradiance data.
