A new version of VirES for Swarm has been released implementing calculation of Swarm spacecrafts conjunctions (calculated from the positions information in the MODx_SC_1B products) accessible through the VirES API (Application Programming Interface).

The following were among the new features implemented in previous 2021 releases:

• Plasmapause Related boundaries in the topside Ionosphere (as derived from Swarm Measurements (DISC-PRISM) products) have been added to VirES and are accessible through the VirES API

• CryoSat-2, GRACE and GRACE-FO magnetic measurements have been added to VirES and are accessible through the VirES API

• Complete set of 1 sec, 1 min, and 1hour INTERMAGNET ground observatory data have been added to VirES and are accessible through the VirES API
• It is now possible to plot orbits of the Swarm spacecrafts in the Globe view
• Virtual Observatory products have been added to VirES and they are accessible through the VirES API
