Figure 2-1: Evaluation of the individual daily TSI timeseries for ERB, ACRIM-1, ERBS and ACRIM-2. The green curves show the data used in the C3S composite while the red parts show data discarded from the C3S composite. The blue and orange curves show the 'running mean' (121 days time period) of the individual instruments, respectively for the period kept/discarded from the composite. Black and brown curves show the C3S and NRL TSI v2 composites after '121 days running mean'.
