Abstract

The solar Total Irradiance Monitor (TIM) on NASA's SORCE mission began taking data in early 2003. This instrument continues the 25-year record of space-borne, total solar irradiance (TSI) measurements, with improved precision from its new technologies and calibration methods. We present an overview of the TIM instrument, including the design features enabling its high precision, and we present preliminary on-orbit TSI data.
