Plot showing difference in average irradiance versus irradiance from average of inputs.  The test case was for Jan, 2014 (31 days).
Ratio of differences in 30+ years of sunspot blocking
File of sunspot darkening, computed wihtout the area-dependent contrast adjustment, plus the facular index (updated to November 2014). Removing the area-dependent contrast adjustment improved, slightly, the correlation coefficient of the model with the TIM TSI.  A subsequent code change will be made to remove the area-dependent contrast as well.
New save file of model parameters using the new sunspot index (i.e. without area-dependent contrast adjustment).  The SIM data used to produce these model parameters is Version 20. Judith will regenerate a new set of model parameters using the Version 21 SIM data (anticipated to be released in ~ 3 weeks). So, these model parameters are not "final" onex.
Revised outline for BAMS article.
A report of findings suggesting that Judith's algorithm misses sunspot areas that are reported in previous years file.  This report led to changes in her algorithm implementation.
