20 th CAA Cross-Calibration Workshop MPS, Göttingen, Germany Oct Ways of Measuring DC Electric Field: Who Does it Correctly?
20 th CAA Cross-Calibration Workshop MPS, Göttingen, Germany Oct CLUSTER Instruments for DC E-fields, 1 DC Electric Field and ExB Drift Velocity are now available in five datasets, which allows to have a good understanding of the motion of charges at critical regions EFW = Double Probe Antenna Principle: potential difference of two conducting spheres separated by 88 meters Issues: o conducting and photo-emitting spacecraft modifies electrostatic environment around the spacecraft two sensors are not in the same environment: offsets particularly in solar direction Wakes: artificial strong E-fields EDI = Electron Drift Instrument Principle: Electron gun emitting 0.5 or 1 keV electrons perpendicular to B-field; emission is modulated at a few kHz frequency Issues: o when magnetic field is time-varying, it is difficult to find the perpendicular direction o Spatially-varying magnetic field may cause that electrons do not return to the spacecraft, or signal is weak and dispersed
20 th CAA Cross-Calibration Workshop MPS, Göttingen, Germany Oct CLUSTER Instruments for DC E-fields, 2 PEACE: electron velocity moment (ground) Principle: 3D electron spectrometer, measuring electron fluxes with 12 anodes during one spin; electron velocity moment is calculated on ground Issues: o Due to the limited TM bandwidth, data are highly compressed onboard o Full 4 sec of data are needed (time-aliasing effects) o Multiple electron populations and limited energy resolution/coverage o Satellite photoelectrons o Variation of detector efficiencies New dataset: C*_CP_PEA_MOMENTS_INERT Variables o Data_Velocity_GSE_inert Data_Velocity_ISR2_inert o Data_PerpVelocity_GSE_inert Data_PerpVelocity_ISR2_inert o Data_ParVelocity_GSE_inert Data_ParVelocity_ISR2_inert o Data_Efield_GSE_inert Data_Efield _ISR2_inert PEA_MOMENTS: Data are given in spacecraft frame (GSE) PEA_MOMENTS_INERT: data are given in Earth’s frame (GSE and ISR2), velocity components parallel and perpendicular to B-field separated These variables can be compared with EDI and EFW
20 th CAA Cross-Calibration Workshop MPS, Göttingen, Germany Oct CLUSTER Instruments for DC E-fields, 3 CIS ion spectrometers HIA: ion velocity moment (onboard) and CODIF: H+ velocity moment (ground) Principle: 3D ion spectrometer, measuring ion fluxes with 12 anodes during one spin Issues: o Full 4 sec of data are needed (time-aliasing effects) o Multiple ion populations and limited energy resolution/coverage o Variation of detector efficiencies New datasets: C*_CP_CIS-CODIF_HS_H1_MOMENTS_ INERT C*_CP_CIS-CODIF_LS_H1_MOMENTS_ INERT C*_CP_CIS-HIA_ONBOARD_MOMENTS_INERT Variables o Data_Velocity_GSE_inert Data_Velocity_ISR2_inert o Data_PerpVelocity_GSE_inert Data_PerpVelocity_ISR2_inert o Data_ParVelocity_GSE_inert Data_ParVelocity_ISR2_inert o Data_Efield_GSE_inert Data_Efield _ISR2_inert MOMENTS: Data are given in spacecraft frame (GSE and ISR2) MOMENTS_INERT: data are given in Earth’s frame (GSE and ISR2), velocity components parallel and perpendicular to B-field separated
20 th CAA Cross-Calibration Workshop MPS, Göttingen, Germany Oct Comparison Plots for DC E-field and ExB Drift Velocity Hourly comparison created between two experiments if there are 30+ simultaneous measurements (no interpolation is done); simultaneous means the measurements are taken within ±2 sec Changes: for PEACE comparisons: only 10+ points for the others, 20+ points required (TBC)
