SEARCH FOR OSCILLATIONS OF THE TOTAL SOLAR FLUX FROM METEOR-3 SATELLITE NO. 7 OBSERVATIONS

We briefly describe conditions for the observations with the ISP-2 ins truments onboard the Meteor-3 satellite no. 7 in February 1995, which made it possible to record the solar flux over its complete revolution . The power spectra of 108-min-long series of measurements were obtain ed. We detected oscillations of the total solar flux over the range of periods 6 to 15 min with amplitudes of the order of 10(-4) of its val ue during the enhancement of the solar activity. We tentatively establ ished that the oscillations appeared and died out essentially simultan eously with the rise and fall of a number of indices of the solar acti vity.
