Low-Frequency Magnetic Field Fluctuations in the Martian Space

Abstract

Waves,an essential way of energy redistribution in a collisi university of less plasma,can be good indicators for the interaction between the Solar wind with Mars. Features of several different kinds of waves observed in Martian space,together with possible mechanisms of their generation, are given. Waves reflect certain physical processes, which might play important roles in the atmospheric loss,hence have significant influences in the evolution of Martian environment.

Keywords

Martian space environment / magnetic field fluctuation / ion escape from Mars
