Examples of realistic and unexpected vertical ion drift from Swarm A and C at various epochs of the mission. Each series is from high latitudes, poleward of quasi-dipole latitudes of \(\pm 50^{\circ }\). Cross-track horizontal ion drifts (\(v_{iy})\) from the TII cross-track ion drift dataset, version 0302, are shown for Swarm A (blue dots) and C (yellow dots). The hemisphere (north or south) and magnetic local time at the beginning of the interval are shown inset in each plot. See the “Swarm TII flight performance” section for discussion
