GOES 8 Triaxial Fluxgate Magnetometer (FGM), Magnetic Field and Ephemeris, Multiple Coordinate Systems, 1.0 min Data

ResourceID
spase://NOAA/NumericalData/GOES/8/MAG/PT1M

Description

The NOAA Geostationary Operational Environment Satellite (GOES) key parameters. This data is a subset of the data available from the GOES Space Environment Monitor (SEM) instruments. It contains vector magnetic field in three coordinate systems:

  • Spacecraft P,E,N
  • GSM X,Y,Z
  • GSE X,Y,Z

Spacecraft magnetic field is defined as:

  • P perpendicular to the spacecraft orbital plane or parallel to the spin axis of the Earth in the case of a 0° inclination orbit
  • E perpendicular to P and directed earthward
  • N perpendicular to both P and E and directed eastward
