Isolated electrostatic structures observed throughout the Cluster orbit: relationship to magnetic field strength (2004, background): “Thus, the Cluster spacecraft are always in the same local time sector for any given month each year, as described in Escoubet et al. (2001) and as depicted in their Fig.”
The Space Physics Environment Data Analysis System (SPEDAS) (2019, background): “…and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA’s GOES series, see: https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/stp/satellite/goes/; the European Space Agency’s Cluster mission [Escoubet et al. 2001], NASA’s THEMIS [Angelopoulos 2008], Van Allen Probes [Fox and Burch 2013], and Magnetospheric Multiscale, MMS [Burch et al.…”
Multi-point observations of the Hall electromagnetic field and secondary island formation during magnetic reconnection (2006, background): “The Cluster mission consists of four identical spacecraft in polar orbits around the Earth [Escoubet et al., 2001].”
Average properties of the magnetic reconnection ion diffusion region in the Earth's magnetotail: The 2001–2005 Cluster observations and comparison with simulations (2009, methodology): “[5] More recently, exploration of the diffusion region has mainly used data from the multispacecraft Cluster mission [Escoubet et al., 2001], principally in a series of individual event case studies as summarized by Paschmann [2008], who provides a good overview of recent activity in this area.”
