  • FRM4SM: Fiducial Reference Measurements for Soil Moisture

    Fiducial Reference Measurements for Soil Moisture (FRM4SM) is a European Space Agency (ESA) managed project focused, on one hand, on defining procedures and protocols to qualify in situ soil moisture measurements as “FRMs” and, on the other hand, on addressing specific concerns intrinsic to the satellite soil moisture validation strategy (e.g., in situ measurement’s spatial representativeness, and the identification of committed areas for satellite soil moisture validation).

  • Swarm DISC pre-study 5.1 

    Understanding the complex dynamics of neutral winds in the upper atmosphere is crucial for understanding thermosphere-ionosphere interactions. However, the limited availability of measurements and data coverage has hindered the comprehensive characterization of these winds.

  • SWESMAG

    The project SWESMAG relies on magnetic field data from Swarm to investigate Space Weather (SWE) effects related to Geomagnetic Induced Currents (GICs), driven mainly by rapid variations of the ionospheric Polar Electrojet (PEJ) currents and quantified (loosely) by the variation of the horizontal ground magnetic field component dH/dt.

  • Monitoring of Ionospheric Gradients At Swarm (MIGRAS)

    Precision and safety of life applications using trans-ionospheric signals require key information on space weather conditions in particular on the perturbation degree of the ionosphere.

  • PUMAS Initiative

    The Promotion of Utilisation and Mission Applications and Science (PUMAS) is a joint initiative between ESA and CONAE (the Argentinian Space Agency). Established in 2021, PUMAS organises collaborative activities between the two agencies in the field of Earth observation.

  • ESA's multi-level global thermosphere data products consistent with Swarm and GRACE (-FO)

    In this project, the possibility of using the space-based along-track Thermospheric Neutral Density (TND) estimates for generating the European Space Agency (ESA)'s Level 3 (L3) global multi-level TND data products is assessed.

  • Swarm-SWITCH

    Space weather in the thermosphere-ionosphere can have a variety of adverse effects on technological systems, for example by affecting radio signals and satellite orbits.

  • Swarm Ionospheric Polar Electrodynamics

    The goal of the Swarm ionospheric polar electrodynamics (SWIPE) project is to create and disseminate the most advanced models of high-latitude Joule dissipation, ionospheric convection, and ionospheric conductances.

  • EO Summer Schools

    ESA's series of summer schools, on Monitoring of the Earth System, aims to promote the exploitation of Earth observation (EO) data.

  • Dragon 3 Cooperation Programme

    The Dragon 3 Programme focussed on the exploitation of ESA, ESA's Third Party Missions and Chinese Earth observation data for geo-science and applications development in land, ocean and atmospheric applications.

  • MUltisource data package tools and SErvices (MUSE)

    The MUSE project aims to develop and integrate a tool to simultaneously manipulate geospatial data products, satellite, model and in-situ data.

  • International Charter Space and Major Disasters

    Learn about the International Charter Space and Major Disasters, which ESA participate in disaster monitoring.

  • Swarm Ion Temperature Estimation

    The main objective of Swarm Ion Temperature Estimation (SITE) project is to estimate ion temperatures along the orbits of Swarm satellites using available LP electron density and temperature measurements, and numerical models.

  • ESC Ionospheric Weather - definition and development activities

    The project objective is to ensure operational and development activities within the Ionospheric Weather Expert Service Centre of ESA's Space Situational Awareness Space Weather network.

  • Swarm LP Ion Drift and Effective Mass

    The Swarm LP Ion Drift and Effective Mass (SLIDEM) project will augment Swarm's ability to measure the along-track component of ion drift, and assess the composition of ionospheric ions.

  • Swarm for earthquake study

    Swarm for earthquake study (SAFE) will study the preparatory phase of large earthquakes through the analysis of electromagnetic data from sensors on board the Swarm constellation.

  • Polar Cap Products

    Polar Cap Products (PCP) project will provide essential information on polar cap patches, an important element of space weather in the polar regions.

  • Plasmapause Related boundaries in the topside Ionosphere as derived from Swarm Measurements

    In the project, Plasmapause Related boundaries in the topside Ionosphere as determined from Swarm Measurements (PRISM), the team develop products that characterise position of the plasmapause related phenomena in the topside ionosphere.

  • ESC Geomagnetic Conditions

    The objective of the Expert Service Centre Geomagnetic Conditions - definition and development activities work is to ensure operational and development activities within the Geomagnetic Conditions Expert Service Centre of ESA's Space Situational Awareness Space Weather network.

  • Dipolar Spherical Elementary Current Systems (DSECS) toolbox

    The purpose of this project is to create a user-friendly version of a previously developed analysis method for estimating ionospheric currents at low and middle latitudes.
