22 ● To be reprocessed, because some important informations were missing. ● Corinne Burlaud leaved the team at the end of September ) STAFF management 1) STAFF-SC DWF ● At the end of September 2011, Rodrigue Piberne is not still hired !!! ● Block status has been added to indicate a true time or an interpolated time. ● The whole L1 data base will be remade with same Ted version and Tcor ON (given in DWF files). ● A part of the software has been re-written to be clearer and more efficient : - factor 2.5 on C decommutation program. - factor 11 (NBR) or 7 (HBR) for FTN program producing interpolated DWF. ● ONE YEAR without ESA support due to administration problems, mainly on the French side. ● A new software is currently used to produce DWF. 14th CAA Cross-Calibration meeting, York, 5-7 Oct 2011

33 2) STAFF-SC new calibration tables ● A great effort has been done by the technical staff to correct the transfer function of S/C 2,3 & 4. Previous bad estimate was due to a distortion (with time) of the Helmholtz's coils devices used to estimated the transfer function. ● For S/C1, the error is different, having been calibrated on ground with different current loops. Average of 3 other will be taken. ● Technical team has computed a correction function to apply to the cal tables. ● New calibration system is currently updated for further mission (MMS…). ● Preliminary results are given hereafter.

88 14th CAA Cross-Calibration meeting, York, 5-7 Oct 2011 ● software ready and optimized. ● starting production as soon as new DWF will be available. 5) STAFF-SC CWF 4) STAFF Complex Spectra ● to be reprocessed with new cal tables, as corresponding to graphical products Not the first priority. ● priority are: new DWF, CWF, new CS, new graphical products, year after year.

99 ● years 2001 & 2002 are delivered. Few days failed the CAA validation and will be reproduced as soon as possible. ● years 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 & 2007 are produced. These years need further completion and validation to be delivered. ● due to several bugs and problems encountered with the computer dedicated to the production of these data, production was slower than expected. However, we still think that we can delivered data on time. 14th CAA Cross-Calibration meeting, York, 5-7 Oct ) STAFF-SA PPP ● study to synchronize STAFF and EFW L2 data is in progress. (Y. Khotyaintsev, P. Robert, B. Grison, A. Tenerani) 7) STAFF-SC -EFW timing / Poynting vector ● Poynting vector computation has been done with correct results but some more work remain to be done. ● Benjamin Grison will write a document.

10 ● Comparisons between SC (HBR mode) and SA (NBR mode) had been done when WEC 3 was off. ● A new special operation mode has been done since recovery of WEC on S/C 3. This allows frequency overlap between 8 and 180 Hz. SA : despun on board SC: despun on ground ● Event of 03 july 2011 around 04:13 (skimming magnetopause; highly variable). ● SC1 cross calibrations presented at OR6 8) STAFF-SA/SC comparisons 14th CAA Cross-Calibration meeting, York, 5-7 Oct 2011 X Y Z Tot

12 ● production chain of DWF has been entirely revised and optimized, with new inputs. Production will start at very short term. DWF STAFF-EFW timing ● Poynting vector computation has been done with correct results but some more work remain to be done. Manpower ● sudden C. Burlaud leave has desorganized the team but a special effort has been done to continue activities and software development. Nevertheless, one year without external support was very hard to live. SA PPP ● despite several bugs and computer problems, production software is finally operational and delivery will follow as soon as validation will be done. 14th CAA Cross-Calibration meeting, York, 5-7 Oct ) Conclusions (1) CWF ● despite a lack of dedicated manpower, CWF software has been successfully optimized and is ready for production, immediately after new DWF

13 Conclusion (2) ● Sensitivity, noise instrument, minimum signal recordable versus frequency, etc… have to be defined accurately (already planned action). ● Cross calibration between STAFF-SC/HBR and STAFF-SA must be refreshed after STAFF-SC transfer function correction,. ● Continuity of sensitivity, noise instrument etc… must be checked between STAFF-SC and STAFF-SA. using recent special Burst mode operations Don’t forget: many things remain to be done (but with low priority): ● Comparison of STAFF-SA and WBD (see Santolik Talk) THANK YOU 14th CAA Cross-Calibration meeting, York, 5-7 Oct 2011 ● Calibration Report document must be re-written since new tranfert function give better results We strongly wish than R.Pi. be hired as soon as possible Too much work for a reduced team buzy by a lot of other works...
