Data Set Abstract |
This data set tabulates local electron densities and local magnetic
field strengths magnetic field strengths obtained from Mars Advanced
Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding (MARSIS) Active Ionospheric
Sounding (AIS) mode ionograms. The electron density is obtained by
measuring the increment in frequency between the plasma frequency
harmonics, visible as bright vertical lines at low frequency and delay
time in many MARSIS ionograms. Similarly, the local magnetic field
strength is found by measuring the difference in delay time between
electron cyclotron echoes, visible as bright horizontal lines at low
frequency on many ionograms. Both the measured quantity and the derived
result are included in the archive product. We also include a data
quality flag giving the impression of the archivist as to how reliable
each result is. This archive product includes only data from the
nominal mission, which starts about orbit 1850 and ends on orbit 2539. |
