✦ Synopsis
We have established a statistical relation between the facular contribution to the solar irradiance and the intensity of the associated calcium plage. For the solar irradiance data the ACRIM measurements were used. The quiet-Sun level of the irradiance was determined as a function of the time for the period studied. A sample of plages in the period of the solar activity minimum was selected, during the periods when no spots were present on the solar disc. We have expressed the dependence studied through the parameter Cp in the 'proxy' PFI concept. The parameter C? could be related to the plage intensity (I) as C? = 0.006I + 0.003. The mean value of the parameter Cp ranged between 0.015 and 0.017 depending on the choice of samples.

The solar irradiance below 120 nm was first predicted by astronomers. Since its accurate measurement required the solution of a variety of technological problems, little is known about the variability before 1972, though for more than two decades data have been collected. Therefore, on a quantitativ
The solar ultraviolet irradiance measurements in the 120-400 nm wavelength range are reviewed and compared showing still important discrepancies between the irradiance values deduced from the most recent observations. The possible variations of the solar ultraviolet irradiances with the 27-day rota
