Solar spectral irradiance at X-ray wavelengths show large variations over a period of solar cycle. We use X-ray irradiance data in three narrow spectral regimes deduced from Yohkoh SXT measurements to study coronal irradiance and their possible association with the activity in the lower atmosphere. Time variation of the X-ray irradiance is important in understanding the emergence of magnetic flux and the effects of such variation on the upper atmosphere of the Earth. We note that about 66% of the total (2 30 Å) X-ray irradiance arise from 10 to 20 Å spectral range, while 2 10 Å contribute only about 3% of the total. The time variation in 2 10 and 10 20 Å ranges follow each other closely. Further they follow closely the solar indices such as sunspot, F 10.7, and plage indices, although similarity in the variation of 10 20 Å is quite apparent. However, the variation in the other spectral band (20 30 Å) differ to a large extent except for the solar cycle dependent variation. We infer that in addition to the active regions, the remnants of active regions contribute considerably to the emission in this spectral range.
