Abstract
The solar distortion telescope has been used to measure the limb shape and latitude dependence of the limb brightness during the summer months for a 5-year period - a time base sufficient to detect solar cycle trends in the data. Comparison of these observations with spaceborne measurements of the solar constant suggests that a significant part of the solar cycle variation in irradiance is a result of temporal changes in the latitude-dependent surface temperature of the sun.
