Electric field measurements on Cluster: comparing the double-probe and electron drift techniques

Electric field measurements on Cluster: comparing the double-probe and electron drift techniques

The four Cluster satellites each carry two instruments designed for measuring the electric field: a double-probe instrument (EFW) and an electron drift instrument (EDI). We compare data from the two instruments in a representative sample of plasma regions. The complementary merits and weaknesse...
