DC magnetic field observations on board the AUREOL-3 satellite - The TRAC experiment
Abstract
The TRAC experiment for the measurement of the perturbations of the geomagnetic field induced by Birkeland currents is presented. The sensor characteristics and the principle of the data processing electronics are described together with some initial results obtained during the first months of operation.
