available Spectral Solar Irradiance data which was published in the
World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) Publication Series No. 7, WMO
ITD-No. 149, pp 119-126, October 1986.  The data was compiled by
Christoph Wehrli, World Radiation Center (NRC), Davos-Dorf,
Switzerland under WRC Publication No. 615, July 1985.

This compilation of AM0 solar spectrum data is based on the following
publications:

The solar constant (integral at 1 AU) is 1367 W/m^2.

The spacing of samples is non-uniform, as follows:
