  1. Electron Spectrometer On Swarm 28.04.2005 | 9th MAG meeting, ESTEC, June 22-23, 2005 | page 1

  2. On the Advantage of a Particle Experiment • B is integrated property: sum of contributions from all electric currents jin the Earth’s core, ionosphere, but also on the spacecraft ... • In-situ measurement of electric field E with EFI, and of localcurrent density j with curl-B technique • These currents have only minor directeffect on estimation of core and crustal fieldsince they are (mathematically) orthogonal to a potential field • But they have a significant indirect impact, since they feed ionospheric currents, J(ionospheric currents are internal for Swarm, and may therefore disturb internal field models) • Missing link: ionospheric conductivity Sproduced by electron precipitation (at polar latitudes) Particle experiment provides information on ionospheric conductivity S 28.04.2005 | 9th MAG meeting, ESTEC, June 22-23, 2005 | page 2
