MMS 2 Magnetic Ephemeris and Coordinates (MEC) and Support (Tsyganenko 1989 model, Quiet conditions), Level 2 (L2), Survey Mode, 30 s Data

The Magnetic ephemeris data are calculated by using the Tsyganenko 1989 magnetic field model for quiet magnetospheric conditions. Many variables are included in this data product including the magnetic field measured at the spacecraft.

If possible, the northern and southern hemisphere footpoints of the spacecraft are found by tracing along the magnetic field line threading through the spacecraft per the given Tsyganenko and internal magnetic field models. The northern and southern hemisphere loss cone angles are also given. The magnetic field strength at the footpoints and the minimum magnetic field strength along the field line are also calculated by using the field models.
