The Committee considered examine other options.4 In particular, material from the NOAA Working models of TSI based on proxy data (e.g., Group Report, Kopp and Lean Studies A sunspot darkening and facular brightening) and B, the SORCE and ACRIM-3 NASA can, in principle, be used to fill a gap Senior Review proposals, existing depending on the demonstrated literature on TSI observations, and past performance of the model, duration of the changes in TSI records needed to correct gap, and availability of high-quality proxy instrument artifacts.

From page 16... ... Changes in TSI relate to changes in climate radiative forcing by ΔF = 0.7 ΔS /4, where ΔS is the change in TSI. The factor of 4 is the ratio of the Earth's cross-sectional area to its surface area and the factor of 0.7 is the global average solar absorption of Earth (1 - albedo) Read the entire page →

The NOAA Working believes it is also important to maintain the Group Report focused on the impending TSI stewardship of the entire record and place gap that is to occur because of end of life of the current TIM era data and impending SORCE and the failure of the GLORY gaps within the context of the longer data mission.
