Characterization of a semidiurnal eastward-propagating tide at high northern latitudes with Mars Global Surveyor electron density profiles
Cahoy, Kerri; Hinson, David; Tyler, G. Leonard (American Geophysical Union, 2007-08-03)Apparent phase velocities of zonal structure, estimated from Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) electron density profiles, are used to identify and characterize SE1, the semidiurnal eastward-propagating tide with zonal wave number ... -
Physical characteristics and occurrence rates of meteoric plasma layers detected in the Martian ionosphere by the Mars Global Surveyor Radio Science Experiment
Withers, Paul; Mendillo, Michael; Hinson, David; Cahoy, Kerri (American Geophysical Union, 2008-12-30)Low-altitude plasma layers are present in 71 of 5600 electron density profiles from the Martian ionosphere obtained by the Mars Global Surveyor Radio Science experiment. These layers are produced by the ablation of meteoroids ... -
Radio science measurements of atmospheric refractivity with Mars Global Surveyor
Cahoy, Kerri; Hinson, David; Tyler, G. Leonard (American Geophysical Union, 2006-05-20)Radio occultation experiments with Mars Global Surveyor measure the refractive index of the Martian atmosphere from the surface to ~250 km in geopotential height. Refractivity is proportional to neutral density at low ...
