Swarm Alpha VFM anomaly from 3 to 8 October 2024
Due to an issue registered on the VFM (Vector Field Magnetometer) on board Swarm Alpha, several gaps have been identified in the VFM science data from 3 October at 22:06 UTC to 8 October at 07:08 UTC.
Replacement of CryoSat-2 magnetometer data on Swarm dissemination server
The CryoSat-2 magnetometer dataset with product baseline and file counter 0303 recently published on Swarm Dissemination Server has been replaced to fix an issue found in the interpolation of the position, which led to errors up to 2 km in the radial direction.
Swarm Alpha: Scalar magnetic field data unavailable from 5 September 2024
Swarm Alpha: Scalar magnetic field data unavailable from 5 September 2024
Swarm L1B ORBATT and MAGNET operational processor updated
On 5 June 2024 an improved version for L1B ORBATT and MAGNET Operational Processors has been transferred into operation.
Additional EFI TII Cross Track Flow dataset 0302 available for Swarm
Additional TII cross-track flow data is now available on the Swarm dissemination server for all the Swarm satellites.
Ten years of Swarm data help reveal processes in Earth’s core
The tenth birthday of ESA’s three-satellite Swarm constellation has been a game changer for research into Earth’s magnetic field and core dynamics, as set out by an ESA-funded project.
Additional Swarm Langmuir probe Ion Drift, density and effective Mass dataset 0201 available for Swarm
Additional Swarm Langmuir probe Ion Drift, density and effective Mass (SLIDEM) dataset at 2 Hz cadence, baseline 0201, is now available on the Swarm dissemination server for all the Swarm satellites.
Magnetic magic: 10 reasons to be excited about Swarm
In November 2023, Swarm celebrated an impressive ten years in orbit. In that time, ESA’s magnetic mission has honed in on all sorts of mysteries - from tussling magnetic blobs to animal migration.
Swarm EFI Gain Map calibration and partial data gap between 13 and 15 December 2023
An update of the Swarm EFI-TII Gain Correction Map was executed on the three Swarm spacecraft between 13 and 15 December 2023 causing several gaps in EFI-LP data.
Swarm set for continued success after 10 years in orbit
ESA’s mission to unravel the mysteries of Earth’s magnetic field has just reached a decade of successful operations.
Open Call for Ideas for New Data Products, Tools and Services for Swarm
A call for ideas has been opened for new data products, tools and services for the Swarm constellation.
Additional Swarm Langmuir probe Ion Drift, density and effective Mass dataset 0103 available for Swarm
Additional Swarm Langmuir probe Ion Drift, density and effective Mass (SLIDEM) dataset at 2 Hz cadence is now available on the Swarm dissemination server for all the Swarm satellites.
Restored nominal L1B attitude and magnetic data quality and patched MAG-L dataset available on dissharm
Following-up on the recent communications about degraded attitude and magnetic data on Swarm L1B dataset starting from October and December 2018 and from 24 June 2023, the nominal quality of Level 1B data has been restored since 25 August 2023.
Issue with B_NEC magnetic L1B data on all three Swarm spacecraft
An issue has been detected in the L1B data processing chain since the production of 24 June 2023, when a processing library update was performed.
Degradation of Swarm L1B attitude data on all three spacecraft
A degradation of attitude data for all Swarm satellites has been identified in the L1B data generated during STR operations at 2 Hz sampling rate, i.e. since 17 October, 12 and 18 December 2018 for Bravo, Alpha and Charlie respectively.
New release of Swarm Langmuir Probe Ion Drift, Density and Effective Mass dataset
An updated baseline of the Swarm Langmuir Probe Ion Drift, Density and Effective Mass (SLIDEM baseline 0201) dataset at 2 Hz cadence is available.
Swarm Alpha VFM anomaly from 16 to 20 June 2023

Swarm DISC pre-study 5.1
Understanding the complex dynamics of neutral winds in the upper atmosphere is crucial for understanding thermosphere-ionosphere interactions. However, the limited availability of measurements and data coverage has hindered the comprehensive characterization of these winds.
SWESMAG
The project SWESMAG relies on magnetic field data from Swarm to investigate Space Weather (SWE) effects related to Geomagnetic Induced Currents (GICs), driven mainly by rapid variations of the ionospheric Polar Electrojet (PEJ) currents and quantified (loosely) by the variation of the horizontal ground magnetic field component dH/dt.
Monitoring of Ionospheric Gradients At Swarm (MIGRAS)
Precision and safety of life applications using trans-ionospheric signals require key information on space weather conditions in particular on the perturbation degree of the ionosphere.
