The Morphology of the Solar Wind Magnetic Field Draping on the Dayside of Mars and Its Variability

Abstract The magnetic field draping pattern in the magnetosheath of Mars is of interest for what it tells us about both the solar wind interaction with the Mars obstacle and the use of the field measured there as a proxy for the upstream interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) clock angle. We apply a ti...
