An author index at the end simplifies searching for a specific author. There are a few abstracts that are incomplete, as listed below. The authors of these abstracts are invited to send us the missing data to the following email: [email protected] This is equally valid for the case that we committed an error the authors would like us to correct! To allow the participants to check this we will wait until after the meeting, to upload a corrected and final version of the Abstract Volume to the web pagewww.iaga2013.org.mx. In case that authors indeed send us additional information, the page numbering will change as well as the Index. Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Centro de Geociencias Edited by: J.

I/V RESULTS FROM SWARM AND PRECEDING mag­nETIC SATELLITE MISSIONS J1-1 THE ESA DATA ACCESS AND DATA QUALITY STRATEGY FOR SWARM Ottavianelli, Giuseppe; Coco, I.; Di Lodovico, I.; Martini, A.; et al. ESA/ESRIN; SERCO SPA; ESA/ESTEC [email protected] Swarm is a three-satellite ESA Earth Explorer mission with the key objectives of mapping the geomagnetic field with unprecedented accuracy and studying the electrodynamics of the Earth’s ionosphere. The mission will enter its Exploitation phase following the three-month commissioning period after launch. This presentation describes : the data access and distribution set-up; the calibration strategies during the Exploitation phase; and the set up for the product quality assurance strategy including the Expert Support Laboratories and Quality Working Groups, the Swarm Validation Teams, the ESA tools and procedures for data quality control.

This presentation will focus on the Mission status and the activities related to the preparation for launch. The objective of the Swarm mission is to provide the best ever survey of the geomagnetic field and its tempo- ral evolution. The mission shall deliver data that aim to provide new insights into the Earth system by improving our understanding of the Earth’s interior and near-Earth electro-magnetic environment including space weather. Swarm consists of a constellation of three identical satellites. Initially all satellites are released from a single launcher and satellite manoeuvring during the commissioning phase of the mission results in the specified constellation at the beginning of the operational phase. This consists of a side-by-side flying pair of satellites at an initial altitude of about 460 km and thereafter slowly decaying. These are complemented by a third satellite that starts in an orbit at 530 km altitude that drifts
