The Mars thermosphere-ionosphere-exosphere (TIE) system constitutes the atmospheric reservoir (ie available cold and hot planetary neutral and thermal ion species) that regulates …
Coupling between the lower and upper atmosphere, combined with loss of gas from the upper atmosphere to space, likely contributed to the thin, cold, dry atmosphere of modern …
We present observations by the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) mission of a substantial plume‐like distribution of escaping ions from the Martian atmosphere …
We utilize suprathermal ion and magnetic field measurements from the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) mission, organized by the upstream magnetic field, to …

The Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission, during the second of its Deep Dip campaigns, made comprehensive measurements of martian thermosphere and …
Abstract We study the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution spacecraft observations of Martian planetary ion escape during two time periods: 11 November 2014 to 19 March 2015 …
In this Letter, we make use of sophisticated 3D numerical simulations to assess the extent of atmospheric ion and photochemical losses from Mars over time. We demonstrate that the …
The 3‐D multifluid Block Adaptive Tree Solar‐wind Roe Upwind Scheme (BATS‐R‐US) MHD code (MF‐MHD) is coupled with the 3‐D Mars Thermospheric general circulation …
Abstract The Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) mission samples the Mars ionosphere down to altitudes of∼ 150 km over a wide range of local times and solar zenith …
