2 ● To be reprocessed, because some important information was 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 TFN program producing interpolated DWF. ● ONE YEAR without ESA support due to administration problems in France. ● A new software is currently used to produce DWF. 14th CAA Cross-Calibration meeting, York, 5-7 Oct 2011

3 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, there is nothing to do (FM5, spare of 1 st mission). Average of 3 other will be taken. ● Technical staff 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.

4 3) STAFF-SC/FGM new comparisons FGM STAFF FGM STAFF 4° unchanged 10% to 1%, great ! CLUSTER / Tango (#4) 2001 Sep 23 Old cal table Corrected cal table 14th CAA Cross-Calibration meeting, York, 5-7 Oct 2011

5 3) STAFF-SC/FGM new comparisons (suite) CLUSTER / Tango (#4) 2001 Sep 23 Wave packet at 6 Hz (TF corrected) 4° unchanged 1% on DC 14th CAA Cross-Calibration meeting, York, 5-7 Oct 2011

8 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. ● priority are: new DWF, CWF, new CS, new graphical products, year after year.

9 ● 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.

10 ● 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

11 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): Roproc software ● Allow calibration of DWF, spectrograms computation, wave polarisation parameters etc... (used to produce plots available on ) ● works on STAFF-SC L1, L2, FGM CAA data ● Allow computation of Curl(B), div(B) etc... And many processing on FGM data ● available (exe files) on Windows, Linux/64, Linux32, Mac/Darwin is license free THANK YOU 14th CAA Cross-Calibration meeting, York, 5-7 Oct 2011
