Description:Research within SEL of the temporal variations of solar ultraviolet radiation is reviewed. The relation of this NOAA research to NASA's solar radiation research for climate studies is discussed. The necessity of the joint NOAA-NASA SBUV/2 program for satellite UV measurements is emphasized. Progress on a collaborative program to analyze Dr. D. F. Heath's NIMBUS-7 SBUV measurements of the solar UV spectral irradiance is summarized. Support for improved rocket-flight measurements of solar UV spectral irradiance is discussed. The importance of obtaining accurate recalibration is stressed. Recalibration flights are needed to permit accurate intercomparison of the NIMBUS-7 solar UV measurements at the maximum of solar cycle 21 with the SBUV/2 measurements planned for the upcoming solar minimum and for solar cycle 22.
