Calibration of Swarm Plasma Densities Overestimation Using Neural Networks by Artem Smirnov, Yuri Shprits, Hermann Lühr, Alessio Pignalberi, Chao Xiong

“…Abstract Recent studies have shown that the measurements of Langmuir Probes (LPs) onboard ESA's Swarm mission overestimate ion densities on the nightside by up to 50%. The overestimation is due to the assumption of oxygen‐only plasma for ion density calculations, which is often violated at mid‐latitudes on the nightside. …”
