This was the first science achievement of these instruments, the first absolute scalar magnetometer capable of using the same sensor to also deliver absolute vector measurements on board satellites.
This model was built from a unique set of data acquired by absolute scalar magnetometers (ASM) running an experimental vector mode on board the satellites of the European Space Agency ESAA) Swarm mission.
No one on board survived.
In this study we use low-resolution (1 Hz) magnetic vector measurements taken on board the three Swarm satellites Alpha (A), Bravo (B) and Charlie (C).
The visual inspection of the time series of 6 parameters measured using electric field instrument, absolute and vector field magnetometers on board each Swarm satellite shows a clear anomaly exactly on the earthquake day.
Using ASM-V experimental vector data acquired on board the Swarm satellites, a very valuable 2015.0 IGRF candidate model, and an equally valuable 2015 2020 SV test model, could be derived.
Maximum entropy methods are used for reconstructing the distribution of energy in wave vector space from frequency spectra observed on board satellites.
