Abstract
The SOLSPEC instrument has been built to carry out solar spectral irra diance measurements from 200 to 3000 nm. It consists of three spectrom eters designed to measure the solar spectral irradiance in ultraviolet , visible, and infrared domains. It flew with the ATLAS I mission in M arch 1992. This paper is dedicated to the visible part of the solar sp ectrum. Comparisons with recent data are shown and differences below 4 50 nm are discussed.
