Mount, G.H., Rottman, G.J. and Timothy, J.G. (1980). The solar spectral irradiance 1200–2550 Å at solar maximum. Journal of Geophysical Research 85: doi: 10.1029/JA085iA08p04271. issn: 0148-0227.

Full-disk solar solar spectral irradiances at solar maximum were obtained in the spectral range 1200--2550 ¿ at a spectral resolution of approximately 1 ¿ from rocket observations above White Sands, New Mexico, on June 5, 1979. Comparison with measurements made near solar minimum indicates approximately a factor of 2.5 increase in the irradiance at 1200 ¿, a 20% increase near 1800 ¿, and no increase within our measurement errors (¿15%) above 2100 ¿. Irradiances in the range 1800--2100 ¿ are in excellent agreement with previous measurements, but those in the 2100- to 2550-¿ range are significantly lower. The intensities of strong emission lines at wavelengths below 1850 ¿ are also reported.
