Observed 10.7-cm solar radio flux.

Added in version 7.3.0.

This function will return an expression representing the observed 10.7-cm solar radio flux as a function of the input time expression time_expr. time_expr is expected to represent the number of Julian centuries elapsed since the epoch of J2000 in the terrestrial time scale (TT). sw_data is the space weather dataset to be used for the computation.

This quantity is modelled as a piecewise constant function of time, where the switch points are given by the dates in sw_data. Evaluation outside the dates range of sw_data will produce a value of NaN.

Parameters:

  • time_expr – the input time expression.

  • sw_data – the SW data to be used for the computation.

Returns:

an expression representing the observed 10.7-cm solar radio flux.
