Abstract (AI)
The Electric and Magnetic Field Instrument and Integrated Science (EMFISIS) investigation on the NASA Radiation Belt Storm Probes (now named the Van Allen Probes) mission provides key wave and very low frequency magnetic field measurements to understand radiation belt acceleration, loss, and transport. The key science objectives and the contribution that EMFISIS makes to providing measurements as well as theory and modeling are described. The key components of the instruments suite, both electronics and sensors, including key functional parameters, calibration, and performance, demonstrate that EMFISIS provides the needed measurements for the science of the RBSP mission. The EMFISIS operational modes and data products, along with online availability and data tools provide the radiation belt science community with one the most complete sets of data ever collected.
Key Findings
1
EMFISIS provides key electric-field, wave, and very-low-frequency magnetic-field measurements for investigating radiation-belt acceleration, loss, and transport.
2
EMFISIS supports radiation-belt research through measurements integrated with theoretical and modeling efforts.
3
Operational modes, data products, online access, and data tools make EMFISIS one of the most complete radiation-belt datasets collected.
4
The instrument suite’s electronics, sensors, calibration, and performance meet the measurement requirements of the Van Allen Probes science mission.
5
The investigation documents instrument functionality and performance, including key operating parameters relevant to interpreting its measurements.
