Ionospheric Current Systems at Mars: Magnetic Perturbations above Crustal Fields Measured by MGS and MAVEN
Abstract
Ionospheric current signatures on Mars can be detected as perturbations in the local magnetic field. In magnetic cusp regions, currents may allow charged particles to escape to space. Using MAVEN and MGS, we can study when and where currents form.
