Full-disk solar spectral irradiances near solar maximum were obtained in the spectral range 1200--3184 ¿ at a spectral resolution of approximately 1 ¿ from rocket observations above White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, on July 15, 1980. Comparison with measurements made in 1979 and during solar minimum confirms a large increase at solar maximum in the solar irradiance near 1200 ¿ with no change within our measurement errors near 2000 ¿. Irradiances in the range 1900--2100 ¿ are in excellent agreement with previous measurements, and those in the 2100- to 2500-¿ range are lower than the Broadfoot results. We find agreement with previous values 2600--2900 ¿ and then fall below those values 2900--3184 ¿. |
