(Upper panel) Summary of periods at which ratios of PREMOS-A:PREMOS-B were calculated, and (lower panel) the subsequent relative difference of TSI, in W m−2, between PREMOS-B and SOHO/VIRGO relative to groups 7 and 8 (see also Fig. 4). All uncertainties are stated for confidence intervals of 68%.

Correction of PREMOS-B values using the 81.7 ppm per exposure day from Schmutz et al. (2013) with an estimated 10% uncertainty.

2

These ratios are applied to all calculations and shown in Figures 2 and 3.

3

Confidence intervals are calculated through bootstrapping and, from random sampling, contain the 10% estimated uncertainty on the 81.7 ppm per exposure day correction applied to PREMOS-B; they have a Gaussian distribution.

4

We note that the same exposure periods in PREMOS-B with 48 exposures that go in to calculating the ratios PREMOS-A:PREMOS-B are not made contiguously for group 8. Therefore, we consider the group which has the majority of observations here.

5

These are the values plotted in the lower panels of Figure 4.

6

The weighted mean of groups 9–12; the uncertainty is derived from the uncertainty on 7 and 8 each combined in quadrature sum with the combined weighted uncertainty on 9–12, i.e. by inverse of the standard error on each point.
