L1B orbit, attitude and magnetic field data: partial reprocessing campaign completed
The reprocessing of Swarm L1B obit, attitude and magnetic field data carried out to replace the degraded data for the time period from October/December 2018 to 24 August 2023 has been completed.
Earth scientists better exploit Swarm data with virtual workspace
The ESA-funded Swarm virtual workspace is helping scientists make the most of a decade of valuable magnetic field data.
New Swarm Field Aligned Current web tool available
We are pleased to announce that a new Field Aligned Currents (FAC) web tool is available
Ten years of Swarm data help reveal processes in Earth’s core
The tenth birthday of ESA’s three-satellite Swarm constellation has been a game changer for research into Earth’s magnetic field and core dynamics, as set out by an ESA-funded project.
Magnetic magic: 10 reasons to be excited about Swarm
In November 2023, Swarm celebrated an impressive ten years in orbit. In that time, ESA’s magnetic mission has honed in on all sorts of mysteries - from tussling magnetic blobs to animal migration.
New version release of Swarm Level 2 EEF data
An updated version of the Swarm Level 2 product Equatorial Electric Field (EEF) v0304 is now available on Swarm dissemination server.
Big ambitions as Swarm mission soars on
For nearly a decade ESA’s magnetic field mission has taken us on a journey from Earth’s core to the magnetosphere, and almost everything in between.
New Swarm Product Data Handbook available
We are pleased to announce that a new Swarm Product Data Handbook page is now available.
Additional EFI TII Cross Track Flow dataset 0302 available for Swarm
Additional TII cross-track flow data is now available on the Swarm dissemination server for all the Swarm satellites.
Additional EFI TII Raw And Corrected Imagery and Spectra (TRACIS) dataset 0102 available for Swarm
Additional EFI TII Raw And Corrected Imagery and Spectra (TRACIS) data is now available on the Swarm dissemination server for all the Swarm satellites.
ESA's excellent Earth Explorer missions extended to 2025
Since 2009, ESA’s Earth Explorer missions have pioneered breakthrough technologies and transformed our understanding of Earth’s system, from its core to the outer stretches of the atmosphere.
Swarm data help estimate the impact of space weather
Energy from space weather mostly deposits itself as heat in the upper atmosphere, posing risks to satellites orbiting in the same altitude.
New GRACE and GRACE-FO thermosphere datasets released
The Swarm DISC project Thermosphere Observations from Low-Earth Orbiting Satellites (TOLEOS) reprocessed all GRACE and GRACE-FO data to obtain new thermosphere density and crosswind datasets.
New Swarm-TIRO dataset released
A new dataset, generated in the frame of Swarm-TIRO (Topside Ionosphere Radio Observations from multiple LEO-missions) project, is available.
Update on Swarm Field-Aligned Current Dual (FAC_AC) data issue
As a follow-up of the news published on 23 November 2021 and on 16 December 2021, we want to update Swarm users about the issue affecting Field-Aligned Current Dual (FAC_TMS_2F) data.
New Release of VirES for Swarm 3.9.0
Version 3.9.0 of VirES for SWARM has been released.
Swarm Field-Aligned Current Dual (FAC_AC) data unavailable from 4 May 2022
Due to the recent orbit raise manoeuvres which changed the orbital configuration of Swarm Alpha and Charlie, no Field-Aligned Current Dual (FAC_TMS_2F) data are being produced since 4 May 2022.
Swarm Alpha and Charlie orbit raise campaign starting on 3 May 2022 - Potential impact on data quality
After more than eight years of operations, the Swarm constellation is continuing to provide multi-point measurements of the Earth’s magnetic field and ionospheric parameters with unprecedented accuracy.
Satellite data central to ocean monitoring
Over 95% of Earth’s water is found in our oceans, and yet sadly, oceans are under stress from climate change and pollution. Monitoring our oceans is vital for Earth’s survival and satellites are the primary means of long-term and independent observation of our vast ocean bodies and their associated coastal zones.
Changes to be introduced in the Swarm Dissemination FTP layout
Following a Swarm community recommendation, some changes will be introduced in the Swarm Dissemination FTP/HTTPS structure on 20 April 2022.
