's magnetic field mission. The Swarm
#EarthExplorer
constellation aims to provide the best-ever survey of the geomagnetic field and its temporal evolution.
This was quite simply the best conference I’ve ever attended - thanks to all the organisers for making this happen! 🤩 excited for the 15 years celebration !!
☀️🌬️🌍 The
@ESA_Smile
mission will improve our understanding of how Earth responds to space weather and solar storms.
The protective magnetic bubble that surrounds Earth is invisible to our eyes, but with its UV and X-ray cameras,
#ESASmile
will reveal how it works.

🌐 Role in small-scale plasma density irregularities at auroral latitude
🧲 Depend on ☀️ & geomagnetic activity
🔎 Mainly observed in auroral oval

#DidYouKnow
👀 that the scary sound of Earth's magnetic field 🌍🧲🔊 was created using magnetic data from

🛰️🛰️🛰️ and the GGF100k 📝💻 global geomagnetic field model of

, which covers the last 100 000 years?

Swarm data support tsunami detection? 🌊
〰️ Tsunami-triggered gravity waves are detectable in the ionosphere
🫨 Swarm mission data improve ionosphere-based tsunami detection, especially after major earthquakes

7 years ago we wrote about how Swarm met STEVE, a purple arc-shaped glow at lower latitudes on the dusk side of the auroral oval 🌈🌆
Here in 2024, and a 🆕 paper suggests that STEVE may have a dawn side twin! 👶👶🌄
What should we call her? 🤔

birthday a few weeks ago🎂
Credit goes to my partner, who sent this to me as she thought I’d enjoy it, which I did indeed.
🧲🌊 Could we one day use Swarm magnetic data to predict tsunamis?
Alexander Grayver asked this question at the Swarm science conference, where he presented:
Magnetic signals from oceanic tides: new satellite observations and applications
🆕 Preprint👉
Can magnetic field data one day be used to predict earthquakes?
🫨 It's not an easy task, but research is well underway.
A 🆕 paper looks at Swarm measurements of magnetic anomalies before Earthquakes of magnitude 6 and above in Turkey and Greece.

Today on 🧲 Magnetic Monday 🧲 a huge big THANKS to all that hot iron and nickel slushing around deep under our feet, and the ensuing magnetic field which keeps our atmosphere all nice and breathable by deflecting the worst the sun throws at us.

After the science & birthday celebrations in Kopenhagen, it’s good to have some family time at home, building the lower pair of
@esa_swarm
satellites in LEGO with my daughter. But somehow Swarm Charlie turned out a bit different than expected.
Roberta Forte has been busy today at
#EGU24
Here at the
#ESAatEGU
booth - another excellent insight into
@ESA_EO
Swarm data.
On the screen in this pic you can see how Swarm and SMOS combine to tackle
