Magnetic vector and scalar data for monitoring and calibration purposes
Authored by: Swarm PDGS -
Creation year: 2013
Product types: SW_OPER_MAGA_CA_1B, SW_OPER_MAGB_CA_1B, SW_OPER_MAGC_CA_1B
Thematic areas: Magnetic measurements
Applicable missions: Swarm
Applicable spacecraft: Swarm-A, Swarm-B, Swarm-C
The MAGx_CA_1B Product contains magnetic calibration data for monitoring, verification, and re-estimation of calibration parameters. It contains raw as well as processed VFM vector measurements, VFM temperatures, and fully converted and corrected ASM measurements at 1 Hz rate. This is essentially the data used for the Temporal Calibration File (TCF.VFM) estimation but including also the raw VFM data.
