SPASE resource : spase://CNES/Instrument/CDPP-AMDA/SWARM-C/LP

Description

he Swarm EFIs have each two Langmuir probes. Both probes operate most of the time in a novel harmonic mode featuring a sinusoidally varying bias suitable for measuring not only currents, but also admittances. A comparable instrument has not previously been in orbit.
