Abstract
The experiment SOVA (SOlar VAriability) on board EURECA (EUropean REtrievable CArrier) contains two types of radiometers sunphotometers for measuring the total and spectral irradiance at five wavelengths between 335 nm and 862 nm. Besides the direct observation of variations of the solar irradiance, these measurements will also be used for the observation of solar oscillations. Preliminary results are presented from the observations of total and spectral irradiance during the first five months of the mission (August to December 1992).Keywords
