STSE Swarm
STSE Swarm + Innovation ProgramESA STSE (the Support To Science Element) Swarm+Innovation Program is a programmatic component of EOEP (Earth Observation Envelope Programme).
Polar Cap Products (PCP)
In this project, Polar Cap Products (PCP) based on in-situ data from the Swarm satellites are developed. PCP will provide essential information on polar cap patches, which are an important element of space weather in the polar regions. PCP will allow establishing models for the space weather forecasting at high latitudes. The objectives of this project are:
More information about this project can be found at Swarm for earthquake study (SAFE)SAFE is a project to investigate, by means of data collected from satellites and from ground-based instruments, the phase preceding the great earthquakes with the aim to identify any electromagnetic signal from space. To achieve the scope, SAFE will study the preparatory phase of large earthquakes through the analysis of electromagnetic data from sensors on board the three satellites of ESA Swarm constellation in order to better understand the physical mechanisms involved. In particular, the project will study the coupling between the outer part of the solid Earth, the lithosphere, where the earthquakes occur, and the overlying fluid portion, the atmosphere. The objective is to capture the information exchanged between the two layers through the integration of the data acquired by the Swarm satellites with those collected by other satellites and by ground-based stations.

This project aims to use the magnetic fields produced from ocean tides to probe the conductivity of Earth's lithosphere and upper mantle. ESA Swarm constellation mission provides good spatial data coverage and gives the possibility of obtaining global images of 3-D mantle heterogeneities, especially in oceanic regions. The objectives of this project are:
