Observation of a flare signal in the total solar irradiance (ie, an apparent temporary increase of solar luminosity, as recorded by the SORCE satellite (X17 flare of October 28, 2003). Note the heavily suppressed zero of the flux scale (W/m2). The time axis covers about one hour. Note also the fluctuatiing signals before the flare; this is the background fluctuation (signal for some, but noise for this purpose); this noise greatly reduces the precision of the flare observation. These fluctuations result from solar photospheric motions and of course, for TSI, they are integrated over the whole solar disk.
