Solar total irradiance data obtained by the solar monitors of the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) on board the Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS) and on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration spacecraft NOAA 9 and NOAA 10 are compared with the solar total irradiance data obtained from the Solar Maximum Mission (SMM) Active Cavity Radiometer Irradiance Monitor 1 (ACRIM 1), the sounding rockets, and the Nimbus 7 Earth radiation budget (ERB) channel 10 C. For the first 2 years of solar total irradiance measurements in space, the ERBE solar monitors on board ERBS and NOAA 9 spacecraft yielded the same mean irradiance value of 1364.9 W m-2 for the solar constant. This value is 0.2% lower than the mean value of the solar constant derived from the SMM ACRIM 1 and the sounding rockets, and it is 0.4% lower than the Nimbus 7 ERB measurements.
