Total solar irradiance has been measured from space for more than two decades by various instruments. These irradiance observations demonstrate that total irradiance changes on time scales from minutes to decades. While studying short-term irradiance variations are important for solar physics, establishing the amplitude of irradiance variations within a particular solar cycle and from one cycle to another is important also for climate studies. The composite total irradiance, compiled from various time series, indicates that the amplitude of total irradiance is about the same during the minima and maxima of solar cycles 21, 22, and 23 within the measuring uncertainties. Since the ACRIM time series provides the longest data set in the composite total irradiance, the ACRIM data are compared to the measurements of the Nimbus-7/ERB, ERBS and SOHO/VIRGO total irradiance using various processings of the UARS/ACRIM II measurements.
