Mars Express characterization of the Martian ionosphere
Abstract
15 years after its launch, Mars Express has collected a large dataset of ionospheric observations. These include electron density profiles and the total electron content of the ionosphere. Mars Express measurements cover more than one solar cycle and have allowed for an unprecedented characterization of the Martian ionosphere, its temporal and spatial variability, and its couplings with the lower atmosphere and with the space environment.
