摘要: The F10.7 solar index is frequently used as a proxy for the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) irradiance. However, relationship between and EUV spectrum has not been quantified in great detail Solar Cycles 23 24. We use more than 2800 spectra (2003–2010) from Experiment (SEE) to construct an empirical model of function F10.7P = 12(F10.7+F10.7A) where F10.7A 81 day average. compare our HEUVAC find soft X-ray irradiance ∼65% larger SEE during minimum H Lymann continuum fluxes are ∼30% smaller. derive power law relationships F10.7P ionizing irradiance—the integrated flux within some wavelength band—in units energy (FE) photon (FP) five neutral species show that FE linear FP magnitude its cycle variation dependent. In addition, we ionization frequencies these confirm better F10.7. Finally, investigate hardening consequences Venus, Earth, Mars ionospheres; ratio appropriate Earth's E F layers stayed constant prolonged minimum. Our results can elucidate ionospheric processes such saturation effect.
