Conference paperGeorgescu E, Vaith H, Fornacon KH, et al., 2006,
Use of EDI time-of-flight data for FGM calibration check on cluster
, Pages: 535-541, ISSN: 0379-6566The four Cluster satellites launched in summer 2000 carry flux-gate magnetometers (FGM), which measure the magnetic field vector. The satellites also carry electron drift instruments (EDI) that measure the gyration time of electrons perpendicular to the magnetic field. The gyration time is related through a universal constant to the magnetic field magnitude and is hence an absolute measure of it. The knowledge of the field magnitude can be used to verify the magnetometer calibration or to carry out a scalar calibration of FGM, similarly to near-Earth space missions where proton magnetometers provide this information. The resulting increased accuracy of the magnetic field measurement on the four spacecraft enhances the value of the multipoint measurements on Cluster by reducing the uncertainties in deriving the differential quantities such as the curl of the magnetic field. In this paper the errors in the measurements made by FGM and EDI are discussed and a comparison of the measurements is presented. The conclusion is that the absolute error of the magnetic field measurement is about 0.1 nT for fields below 100 nT and less than 0.1% for fields above.

Simultaneous double star and cluster ftes observations on the dawnside flank of the magnetosphere
, Pages: 163-170, ISSN: 0379-6566We present Cluster and Double Star-1 (TC-1) observations from a close magnetic conjunction on May 8, 2004. The five spacecraft were on the dawnside flank of the magnetosphere, with TC-1 located near the equatorial plane and Cluster at higher geographic latitudes in the southern hemisphere. TC-1, at its apogee, skimmed the magnetopause for almost 8 hours (between 08:00-16:00 UT). Flux Transfer Events (FTEs), moving southward/tailward from the reconnection site, were observed by TC-1 throughout almost all of the period. Cluster, travelling on a mainly dawn-dusk trajectory, crossed the magnetopause at around 10:30 UT in the same Magnetic Local Time (MLT) sector as TC-1 and remained close to the magnetopause boundary layer in the southern hemisphere. The four Cluster spacecraft observed FTEs for a period of 6.5 hours between 07:30 and 14:00 UT. From the properties of these FTEs, the reconnection site was located northward of both TC-1 and Cluster on the dawn flank of the magnetosphere. Reconnection occurred between draped magnetosheath and closed magnetospheric field lines. Despite variable interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) conditions and IMF-B <inf>z</inf> turnings, the IMF clock-angle remained greater than 70° and the location site appeared to remain relatively stable in position during the whole period. This result is in agreement with previous studies which reported that the dayside reconnection remained active for an IMF clock-angle greater than 70°. The simultaneous observation of FTEs at both Cluster and TC-1, separated by 2 hours in MLT, implies that the reconnection site on the magnetopause must have been extended over several hours in MLT. This event has been already presented in more details in [1].

Conference paperWild JA, Milan SE, Davies JA, et al., 2006,
Space and ground-based investigations of dayside reconnections: Cluster, double star and superdarn observations
, Pages: 199-208, ISSN: 0379-6566In this paper, we present an overview of several investigations that have exploited Cluster, Double Star and SuperDARN radar data in order to scrutinise the coupling of the solar wind, magnetosphere and ionosphere. The studies introduced have drawn upon simultaneous space- and ground-based data in order to overcome the inherent shortcomings of the in situ (space-based) and remotely-sensed (ground-based) measurement techniques. In particular, we shall highlight the results of studies that investigate the dynamics arising from magnetic reconnection at the dayside magnetopause and the resulting ionospheric responses.
