Retrieval of ionospheric profiles from the Mars Express MARSIS experiment data and comparison with radio occultation data [PDF]
Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems, 2012 Since 2005 the Mars Advanced Radar and Ionospheric Sounding experiment (MARSIS) aboard Mars Express has acquired a unique dataset on the ionosphere of Mars made up of ionospheric soundings taken by the instrument working in its active ionospheric ...

MITM: A new Mars Ionosphere−Thermosphere Model
Earth and Planetary PhysicsIn this study, we present an innovative Mars Ionosphere−Thermosphere Model (MITM), which is a time-dependent, three-dimensional (3-D) model that comprehensively represents the self-consistently coupled thermosphere and ionosphere of Mars within the ...

Martian Bow Shock and Magnetic Pile-Up Barrier Formation Due to the Exosphere Ion Mass-Loading [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2011 Bow shock, formed by the interaction between the solar wind and a planet, is generated in different patterns depending on the conditions of the planet.

Optimization of the Mars ionospheric radio occultation retrieval
Earth and Planetary Physics, 2018 Electron density is a key parameter to characterize Martian ionospheric structure and dynamics. Based on the ephemeris and auxiliary information derived from the Spacecraft, Planet, Instruments, C-matrix, and Events (SPICE) toolkit, we calculated the ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract Locally generated fast magnetosonic (local MS) waves in the Martian ionosphere have been reported recently, which are different from the solar wind‐driven MS waves. However, their effects on particle scattering have not been reported yet. This study pioneers the investigation of electron, proton, and oxygen atomic ion scattering induced by ...

Observations of a Mini‐Magnetosphere Above the Martian Crustal Magnetic Fields
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Mars is typically regarded as a non‐magnetic planet. Currents in the Martian ionosphere generate a Venus‐like induced magnetosphere which deflects the solar wind flows and piles up the interplanetary magnetic fields.

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract The radar surface echo can be separated into coherent and incoherent components by statistical approaches, and the coherent component can be described by a backscattering model related to the RMS height. According to backscattering models for fractal surfaces, the coherent power in decibels decreases with RMS height on a scale independent of ...

Describing the Global Gravity Field of Mars With Lithospheric Flexure and Deep Mantle Flow
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract The volcanic complex Tharsis Region on Mars is known for its numerous volcanoes on top of the crust, elevated topography (doming), and a long‐wavelength gravity anomaly correlated with the region. Flexural modeling of the lithosphere has commonly been used to understand the relationship between observed topography, crustal structure, and ...
