AB: The Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at the University of Colorado manages the SOlar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE) Science Data System. This data processing system routinely produces Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) and Spectral Solar Irradiance (SSI) data products, which are formulated using measurements from the four primary instruments on board the SORCE spacecraft. The TIM instrument provides measurements of the TSI, whereas the SIM, SOLSTICE, and XPS instruments collectively provide measurements of the solar irradiance spectrum from 1 nm to 2400 nm (excluding 31-115nm, which is measured by the SEE instrument on NASA's TIMED mission). The SORCE Science Data System utilizes raw spacecraft and instrument telemetry, calibration data, and other ancillary information to produce a variety of solar irradiance data products that have been corrected for all known instrumental and operational factors. Since launch of the SORCE spacecraft in January 2003, science processing algorithms have continued to mature, and "Level 3" data products (time-averaged and/or spectrally resampled onto uniform wavelength scales) are routinely being produced and delivered to the public via the SORCE web site, and are archived at the Goddard Earth Sciences (GES) Data and Information Services Center (DISC, formerly DAAC). This poster provides an overview of the SORCE data processing system, summarizes the present state of the processing algorithms and future plans, describes the quality of the current SORCE data products, and provides details on how to access SORCE science data.
