| Zusammenfassung |
| Swarm, a three-satellite constellation to study the dynamics of the Earth’s magnetic
field and its interactions with the Earth system, has been launched in November
2013. The objective of the Swarm mission is to provide the best ever survey of
the geomagnetic field and its temporal evolution, which will bring new insights
into the Earth system by improving our understanding of the Earth’s interior and
environment.
The Level 1b Products of the Swarm mission contain time-series of the quality screened,
calibrated, corrected, and fully geo-localized measurements of the magnetic field intensity,
the magnetic field vector (provided in both instrument and Earth-fixed frames), the plasma
density, temperature, and velocity. Additionally, quality screened and pre-calibrated
measurements of the nongravitational accelerations are provided. Geo-localization is
performed by 24- channel GPS receivers and by means of unique, three head Advanced
Stellar Compasses for high-precision satellite attitude information. The Swarm Level 1b data
will be provided in daily products separately for each of the three Swarm spacecrafts. This
poster will present detailed lists of the contents of the Swarm Level 1b Products and
brief descriptions of the processing algorithms used in the generation of these data. |
