361-day moving average of the a) Lyman-α irradiance and the b) Mg II index. The various composites by IUP and by LASP were matched in terms of the rotational variability and the level at the 2008 solar cycle minimum (dotted lines) to the SATIRE-S reconstruction to allow a direct comparison of the overall trends. The dashed lines indicate the lower and upper uncertainty of the Lyman-α irradiance and Mg II index taken from the reconstruction.
