SW_EFIx_LP_FP

Electric field instrument (EFI) faceplate (FP) plasma density at 16 Hz

Thematic areas: Plasma measurements, Space Weather

Applicable missions: Swarm

Applicable spacecraft: Swarm-A, Swarm-B, Swarm-C

Description

The EFIx_LP_FP Product contains extended Swarm Electrical Field Instrument (EFI) plasma data derived from the faceplate (FP) current at 16 Hz.

They include:

estimates of the ionospheric electron density from the faceplate current at 16 Hz resolution;
the actual 16 Hz faceplate current measurements;
geodetic coordinates of the satellite positions interpolated to the times of the current measurements.
