Swarm Plasma Density (Ne) - Product description and access

Swarm satellites provide in situ plasma density (Ne) measurements.

Swarm plasma density (Ne) is provided as Level 1b (L1b) data product with a 2Hz cadence by ESA’s Earth’s Observation program. The data are provided in daily files in CDF format (Swarm L1b product format). The product names are EFIx_PL_1B, with x = A, B, C for the 3 satellites respectively.
