GBO/GMAG/KIANA THC/FGL SST ESA THD/FGL • Local Intensification at Kiana • Seen at THD/B/A as: • Field aligned current • Injection, followed by: • Velocity Dispersed Ions • Can identify source in space • Can identify ground signatures SST ESA THB/FGL SST ESA THA/FGL SST ESA THE/FGL SST ESA
Injection at low energies as well. ESA Ions on A/B/D/E
Instrument Commissioning • ISSUES • FGM (at 2m) sees bus currents at spin tone/harmonics • Developing software solution: tone removal • Worst case effect: 0.2nT inaccuracy (does not affect science) • SCM (at 1m) also sees bus currents at spin tone/harmonics • Developing software solution: tone removal • Worst case effect: Limit use above 10Hz (use FGM below 10Hz) • SCM sees noise from BAU/IDPUat 8Hz/32Hz and harmonics • Solution demonstrated • Routine implementation ongoing
