Swarm derived Indices of Geomagnetic Activity

Description

Indices of geomagnetic activity, derived from magnetometer data from the satellites of ESA's Swarm mission, for March of 2015. The indices are the satellite-based counterparts to the traditionally used Dst, ap and AE indices, which are derived from magnetometer data from ground stations. Having a moving observatory allows the derivation of regional indices, such as the Swarm-AE-North, which is composed from measurements performed only when the satellites are in the Northern hemisphere, and similarly Swarm-AE-South. Hence, included here are the Swarm-Dst, Swarm-ap, Swarm-AE, Swarm-AE-North and Swarm-AE-South indices, in 1-minute time resolution, from 1/3/2015 up to 31/3/2015 23:59 UT.
