Data Summary
MAG was on for the period 1-31 August 2022. The BM data was available only from the 26th to the 27th of
August.

Spacecraft noise was observed particularly in IBS data for several periods (there was significant noise for a
total of 274 hours in the period 1-31 Aug 2022). This noise is very clear in IBS, the source has not been
identified. We can see evidence for it being there in OBS as well, and have not got algorithms to clean this
from the data. The magnetic field data have been converted to NaNs when the noise in the data was
particularly high. The full period of missing data is listed in the appendix of this report. If you have particular
need for any data during these periods, please contact the MAG team and we see if the data maybe suitable
for release for certain applications.

The 20th and 21st of Aug 2022 cannot be released: SC noise was high for the whole day.

The spacecraft started the month at 0.96AU and at the end it was at 0.76AU from the Sun.

Normal Mode

MAG was on with 8Hz cadence normal mode data returned, for exceptions see below.
Operations 1-31 August Science phase throughout period, normal data returned

Operational None
Events of Note

Data Gaps greater than one minute:

NaNs have been introduced during the noisiest periods because the data was highly disturbed. See
Appendix for details.

1-31 Aug:
OBS and IBS offsets changed after the SA movement on the 12th and 31st of Aug. Between these events,
the offset linearly changed and the trend has been chosen accordingly.

Appendix

Appendix A: NANs periods of the month

This table shows the NaN periods which have been introduced in the data due to SC interference.
The disturbance observed in the IBS-OBS data set is large that we cannot quantify the impact on
OBS, therefore we have set this data to NaN. If you have a need to see this data, please get in
contact with the MAG team and we can discuss this with you.
