Solar orbiter data?

I also saw Christian Mostl tweet out this url for the solar orbiter data: http://soar.esac.esa.int/soar/

Looking around there I was able to get a plot the low latency magnetometer data just as shown on twitter.

 

While on the subject, can anyone tell me if we can derive Bz from the Br Bt Bn lines shown from the solar orbiter? Do Brtn have any relationship with Bxyz?

I'm not sure, but if you choose from the Variable pull-down menu "SOLO_LL02_mag - B_SRF", it will plot Bxyz.

On page 31 of the following document you will find a description of the RTN coordinate system but no formulae for coordinate system conversion:

A.2 RTN coordinate system
The RTN coordinate system is used by Solar Orbiter time series, see [LLCDFICD]. It is centred on the spacecraft and has the following Cartesian components:
• The R component points radially from the sun to the spacecraft.
• The T component is in the direction Ω × R, where Ω is the Sun’s spin axis.
• The N component completes a right-handed set.
