The Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME)
This document reports on what can be expected from the improved GOME-2 instrument. In order to underpin the case, the achievements of the existing instrument, GOME-1, in terms of instrument performance, routinely generated data products, and scientific results achieved so far are first summarised, before extrapolating to the expected performances and capabilities of the enhanced version GOME-2 being built for METOP.

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.
Activity - Projects
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.

Swarm’s orbital dance: counter-rotating and closer, for the benefit of science
Since variations in Earth’s magnetic field directly reflect the flow of fluid in the outermost core, new information from Swarm will further our understanding of the physics and dynamics of Earth's stormy heart—and the satellites are recently flying in a counter-rotating phase and closer in their separation, to enable scientists to discover new elements.

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-Aurora
Swarm-Aurora, a web-based tool, was designed to facilitate and drive the use of Swarm in-situ measurements in auroral science.

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.
