Scientific paper

Ion temperature profiles measured by the retarding potential analyzers on Viking I and II are examined. It is found that the thermal conduction must be modified by other transport processes or by the presence of magnetic fields to account for the observed profiles. Such processes also effect the electron temperature profile, which, however, was not measured. Estimates of the magnetic field parameters are obtained assuming the magnetic field is the dominant effect.
