Scientific paper

The prime objective of the Cluster mission is to make multi-point observations in order to resolve the meso-scale structure of the magnetosphere. Reliable multi-point observations require accurate calibration and cross-calibration of the various instruments on the four spacecraft. Cross-calibrations include comparison of the absolute density determined by the particle sensors, by the sounder, and from the spacecraft potential. Electric field calibrations include a comparison of measured E with -VxB. In order to understand gradients determined from differences between spacecraft, a good understanding of instrumental limitations is also required. This paper will present an comparison of observations from the ion and field instruments, including behavior at boundaries. Emphasis will be on ion data from CIS, including a discussion of measurement limitations and common data analysis errors.
