- Name
- GOES 8 Magnetometer 1-Minute Data
- 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: (1) Spacecraft P,E,N (2) GSM x,y,z and (3) GSE x,y,z. Spacecraft magnetic field is defined as: P - perpendicular to the spacecraft orbital plane or parallel to the Earth's spin axis in the case of a zero degree inclination orbit; E - perpendicular to P and directed earhtwards; and N - perpendicular to both P and E and directed eastwards.
