GOES-R Series Magnetometer (MAG) Level 2 Products
Magnetic Fields/Magnetic Currents.
The GOES-R spacecraft includes a pair of boom-mounted fluxgate magnetometer instruments
which operate simultaneously to obtain measurements of the geomagnetic field. The
Magnetometer Subsystem supports the following mission objectives: 1) Map the space
environment that controls charged particle dynamics in the outer region of the magnetosphere,
2) Measure the magnitude and direction of the Earth's ambient magnetic field in three
orthogonal directions in the geosynchronous equatorial orbit, 3) Determine general
level of geomagnetic activity, and 4) Detect magnetopause crossings, storm sudden
commencements, and substorms.
These MAG Level 2 (L2) data include several different products: high-resolution magnetic
field readings in multiple coordinate systems; one--minute magnetic field averages
in multiple coordinate systems; magnetic field deviation from quiescent state; and
the geo-magnetopause crossing location and identification of when geo-magnetopause
crosses satellite paths. Data are in netCDF-4 format.
