Lower and Upper Ionosphere of Mars

摘要: The ionosphere of Mars has been explored mostly with the radio occultation experiment onboard Mariners 6, 7, 9; 2, 3, 4, 6; Viking 1, and more recently on Global Surveyor (MGS) Express (MEX). In addition to experiment, MEX also carried Advanced Radar for Subsurface Ionosphere Sounding (MARSIS) which provided electron density profiles well above main ionospheric peak. atmosphere was measured directly by neutral mass spectrometer 1 2 Landers. Later, an accelerometer MGS large data sets atmospheric at various locations in upper lower atmospheres Mars, respectively. this paper we review results these atmospheric/ionospheric measurements. Results measurements have compared theoretical models several workers; therefore, Mars.
