Electric Field Instrument

The THEMIS Electric Field Instrument (EFI) measures the electric fields in three directions. One pair of sensors is deployed to 20 meters, the other pair to 25 meters. Two stiff telescopic booms extend sensors perpendicular to the four spinning cables and along the probe's spin axis.
