Asymmetrical Looping Magnetic Fields and Marsward Flows on the Nightside of Mars
Abstract As the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) carried by the solar wind encounters the martian atmosphere, it tends to pile up and drape around the planet, forming looping magnetic fields and inducing marsward ion flows on the nightside. Previous statistical observations revealed asymmetrical...
