Scientific paper

We introduce a new MHD model of the Mars atmosphere-ionosphere-solar wind system. The model is adapted from a terrestrial MHD model of the global ionosphere-thermosphere-magnetosphere system, and includes a chemistry set appropriate for Mars and the presence of crustal magnetic fields. We present first results of the solar wind interaction with the Mars ionosphere, including the effects of the crustal fields on ionopause height and bow shock location.
