Balloon-borne measurement as part of magnetosphere research
Abstract
Balloon-borne measurement instrumentation, data relay to ground stations, and data processing as part of the logistics of the balloon campaign are described. In support of magnetosphere research, pressure and temperature profiles are obtained along with data on electric fields and the energy spectra of X-ray radiation. Direction and amplitude of E field vectors are calculated. The registration of rapid geomagnetic, pulsations, using a fast Fourier analysis is explained.
