Description:The hydrogen Lyman‐alpha (Lyman α) line at 121.56 nm is the strongest solar vacuum ultraviolet emission line. Especially because of the impacts on planetary atmospheres, long‐term data sets of Lyman α are important for understanding solar and atmospheric processes. A revised composite data set of daily Lyman α values beginning in 1947 is constructed using measurements of Lyman α from Atmospheric Explorer E, Solar Mesospheric Explorer, Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite, and Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment. Gaps are filled using proxy models based on the Magnesium II index and the 10.7‐ and 30‐cm solar radio fluxes (F10.7 and F30).
