Scientific paper

The Solar EUV Experiment (SEE) is one of the four scientific instruments on the NASA Thermosphere-Ionosphere-Mesosphere-Energetics-Dynamics (TIMED) spacecraft. The SEE instrument measures the irradiance of the highly variable, solar extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation, one of the major energy sources for the upper atmosphere. The SEE spectral measurements span from 0.1 nm to 195 nm and are fundamental for the TIMED mission's investigation of the energetics in the tenuous, but highly variable, layers of the atmosphere above 60 km. The TIMED mission began normal operations on January 22, 2002, a time while the sun continues to display maximum levels for solar cycle 23. The solar variability observed by SEE include several moderate and large flares over periods of seconds to hours and several solar rotational cycles over a typical period of 27 days.
