Scientific paper

A balloon experiment was devised to determine the solar constant and the spectral solar irradiance at selected wavelengths. The solar constant was determined as 1366.2 and 1367.8 W/sqm. Comparisons with other measurements reveal the importance of having both continuous (satellites) and spot measurements in order to assess the short term variability and the long term trends of the solar constant. A time series analysis of the Sun photometer data shows several peaks in the 5 min range. The high coherence with simultaneous measurements from the Solar Maximum Mission satellite indicates the solar origin of the peaks, which are likely to be low degree p-mode oscillations of the Sun.
