Four-monthly time series of vector magnetic field values at fixed locations, on a uniform grid at satellite altitude
Thematic areas: Magnetic measurements
Applicable missions: Swarm
Applicable spacecraft: Swarm-A, Swarm-B, Swarm-C
Such data, regularly distributed in space and time are suitable for modelling the main geomagnetic field, for core flow inversion studies, and for data assimilation studies of the core dynamo process.
