1 Analsis Software for The Cluster Mission: The Spatial Gradient of Densit ABSTRACT Fabien Darrouzet - Pierrette Décréau - Christopher C.

Understanding the underling phsical processes requires knowledge of both temporal and spatial variations of these parameters. Analsing data acquired simultaneousl from two satellites allows determination of the component of the spatial gradient in the direction of their separation. However, to determine all three components of the spatial gradient, data from at least four spacecraft is required. This is the main objective of the Cluster mission: four identical spacecraft forming a tetrahedron in space. We present here the least square method as a means of calculating the spatial gradient of plasma densit from data gathered using Cluster s WHISPER (Waves of High frequenc and Sounder for Probing of Electron densit b Relaation) eperiment. Also presented here is software developed for the calculation and visualisation of the densit gradient. The software plots the trajector of the centre of mass of the four spacecraft, showing the densit measured at each of the four spacecraft and the gradient densit at the centre of mass along the trajector. This work is included in preparation of the Cluster mission, developing methods and tools for the analsis of the subsequent multipoint measurements. KEYWORDS Cluster, Densit, Gradient, Volumetric Tensor, WHISPER. INTRODUCTION The Belgian Institute for Space Aeronom (IASB-BIRA) is involved in the ESA Cluster II mission [Escoubet et al., 997]. Composed of four identical spacecraft, Cluster II will stud the small-scale plasma

Each satellite contains instruments to measure electric and magnetic fields, electron and ion distribution functions, and electromagnetic waves in 3-dimensions. Analsing data acquired simultaneousl from the four spacecraft allows the three components of the spatial gradient of these parameters to be obtained. IASB-BIRA participates in two Cluster II eperiments: a) WHISPER (Waves of High frequenc and Sounder for Probing of Electron densit b Relaation); Principal Investigator Dr. P. Décréau (LPCE-CNRS, Orléans, France); IASB-BIRA Co-Investigator Prof. J. Lemaire. This eperiment is described in [Décréau et al., 997]. b) STAFF (Spatio-Temporal Analsis of Field Fluctuations); Principal Investigator Dr. N. Cornilleau- Wehrlin (CETP, Véliz, France); IASB-BIRA Co-Investigator Dr. M. Roth. The participation in STAFF is described b [Roth et al., 00]. Under the support of ISSI (International Space Science Institute), a working group on Advanced Analsis Methods for Data from Clusters of Spacecraft was created to investigate methods and tools for the analsis of multipoint measurements. A ISSI Scientific Report [Paschmann and Dal, 998] presents two methods for the calculation of the spatial gradient of a quantit (scalar or vector): the homogeneous least square method (developed b Dr. C. Harve, CESR, Toulouse, France) and the linear barcentric method (developed b Dr. G. Chanteur, CETP, Véliz, France). Results using the two methods are largel equivalent, however, it is the least square method that we have applied to the analsis of plasma densit measurements from the WHISPER eperiment. WHISPER is an intermittent transmitter/receiver that can be operated either in passive (receive onl) or active mode. In active mode, it emits short pulses ( millisecond) of sine wave, while other antennas located within the instrument measure the transmitted electric field. The electric field measurements allow identification of the plasma resonances. Analsis of the resonance positions within the measured electric field spectra provides the absolute value of the total electron densit within the range 0. to 80 electrons per cubic centimeter. In this mode, as the instrument is not influenced b spacecraft potential fluctuations, WHISPER can measure the plasma densit ver accuratel, making the determination of the spatial gradient of the plasma densit, b combining measurements from all four Cluster spacecraft, of great interest. The first part of this paper will give a brief summar of the least square method. The second part will describe software used for the calculation and visualisation of the densit gradient. Finall, some eamples of analsing test Cluster data are presented. THE LEAST SQUARE METHOD Introduction The least square method, used to determine the spatial gradient of a parameter using data acquired simultaneousl from four or more spacecraft is described in chapter of [Paschmann and Dal, 998]. The method is based on the principle that the spatial gradient can be epressed in terms of the inverse of a smmetric tensor formed from relative positions of the spacecraft. It is shown that this tensor describes basic geometrical properties of the polhedron defined b the four or more spacecraft, specificall, its characteristic size (mean square thickness) and orientation in three mutuall orthogonal directions. These si geometrical parameters completel define the smmetric tensor, and so contain all the geometrical information required to determine the spatial gradient b the least square method. In the special case of four spacecraft, the product of the three characteristic dimensions is eactl three times the volume of the tetrahedron formed b the spacecraft. Consequentl the smmetric tensor is referred to as the volumetric tensor. Through its eigenvalues and eigenvectors the volumetric tensor provides a description of the geometr of the polhedron. The eigenvalues can be used to define three geometrical parameters; the characteristic size L, the elongation E and the planarit P. The eigenvectors
3 CHAPTER 3 : PLASMA PHYSICS 97 can be used to define the direction of elongation e E and planarit e P. These parameters completel describe the phsicall significant geometrical information of the tetrahedron (chapter 3, [Paschmann and Dal, 998]). Brief Summar of the Method i j It has been shown that for four spacecraft α (α=,, 3 or 4), if r α and r α are the positions, measured simultaneousl, of each of the spacecraft in the, and z directions (i,j =, or z) and r i j b and r b the mean values, over all α, of r i α and r j α (i.e. the position of the centre of mass of the four spacecraft in the, and z directions), the volumetric tensor R ij ma be written as If n α is the value of densit n measured simultaneousl on each of the spacecraft α, it can be shown that the least square estimation of the densit gradient is n r where R ji - is the inverse of the volumetric tensor. We can epress R ji - in terms of the geometrical parameters L, E, P and of the directions of elongation and planarit e E and e P = 4 L where e L, is the third, mutuall orthogonal, direction: e L = e P e E. The three parameters L, E, and P, the two directions e E and e P and the plasma densit, obtained from the WHISPER instrument, are available on CD-ROM delivered to the eperiment Co-Investigator s, and also on CDF format from the Cluster II data centre. Estimation of the Error The 66 orbital covariance matri gives the estimated error of each satellite position and momentum. The WHISPER instrument evaluates an error of the densit measurement. This data is also available on the CD- ROM or from the data centre. Under some circumstances it will not be possible to determine the gradient, for eample, when the satellites are coplanar (P=) or collinear (L=). SOFTWARE AND SOME EXAMPLES i e = 4 4 j j ( nα nβ )( rα rβ ) R ji 4 j α= β= R ji E ee e e j i L j Li ( E) ( P) ( E) A Matlab program was written to read the Cluster data in CDF format, calculate the resulting densit gradient and plot the results. The software allows the trajector of the centre of mass of the four spacecraft, the densit measured at each of the four spacecraft, and the gradient densit, to be plotted as a function of time. Figures to 3 show an eample of these plots for the special case of a densit profile following the Harris densit model n ( r, r, r ) z = N R 0 ij = 4 4 i i j j ( rα r )( rα r ) b b α = N r cosh L N cosh r L e P j e P i N z rz cosh L z
4 98 SPACE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN BELGIUM / VOLUME SPACE SCIENCES PART where n is the densit at position (r, r, r z ), with N,,z the maimum of the densit profile and L,,z the densit profile thickness in the, and z directions. The figures show simulated orbital data of Cluster combined with this densit profile (without z-ais dependence [N z = 0]). Figure : Trajector of the centre of mass of the 4 Cluster spacecraft over a 4-hour time period. Figure shows the trajector of the centre of mass of the four spacecraft as a function of time. The time period is 4 hours. Shown on the top right hand side of the plot are the positions of the spacecraft and of the centre of mass in the middle of the trajector (shown as crosses in the main plot) in three different GSE reference frames XY, YZ and XZ. Values of the geometrical parameters L (labelled Size), E (labelled Elongation) and P (labelled Planarit) are given at this middle position. It is also possible to have this trajector projected onto each of the three reference frames.
5 CHAPTER 3 : PLASMA PHYSICS 99 Figure : Densit profiles measured b the 4 Cluster spacecraft over a 30-minute time period. Figure shows the densit n measured b each of the spacecraft as a function of time. The time period is variable, in this case 30 minutes of the 4-hour period of Figure. Again, spacecraft positions and values of L, E and P are shown while in the middle of the trajector.
6 00 SPACE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN BELGIUM / VOLUME SPACE SCIENCES PART Figure 3: Densit gradient of the 4 Cluster spacecraft along the trajector of the centre of mass projected onto the XZ, YZ and XY planes and for a 30-minute time period. Figure 3 shows the densit gradient profile calculated, using the least square method, at the centre of mass of the four spacecraft and plotted along the trajector of the centre of mass. The densit gradient is projected onto the XY, YZ and XZ reference frames, in each case both the magnitude and components of the gradient are shown. It is also possible to plot the gradient without the magnitude or to plot it in onl one reference frame. The results of Figure 3 are consistent with the input densit profile having no z-ais dependence. Eamining the upper XZ and YZ plots, it can be seen that, as epected, there is no densit gradient in the z-direction, whereas, the lower XY plot shows a densit gradient in the and -directions. CONCLUSION With Cluster, we have, for the first time, the possibilit of making simultaneous measurements onboard four spacecraft located in different regions of the magnetosphere. The development of software for the analsis of the subsequent multipoint measurements, enabling us to reveal gradient profiles of vector and scalar quantities, is of great interest. The densit gradient software discussed in this paper is based on the least square method, applied to plasma densit measurements made b Cluster s WHISPER eperiment. The resulting software will be used to evaluate the densit gradient in critical regions such as, for eample, the magnetopause. The magnetopause is a region where densit gradient profiles will provide much information on the structures observed, structures which have been hard to interpret based on observations made b two satellites (see, for eample, the interpretation of transient phenomena observed near the magnetopause b Interball-Tail and Magion-4 satellites [Vaisberg et al., 998] and [De Keser et al., 00]).
