Scientific paper

There are several important erosion channels induced by solar wind interaction through which volatiles on Mars are lost to space - a fountain of pickup ions, the plasma sheet, the boundary layer/mantle, a direct scavenging of the ionospheric plasma, 'polar' wind, patchy 'auroral' wind etc. Mechanisms of ion energization and escape in these channels are very different. We present the ASPERA-3 and MARSIS observations on Mars Express demonstrating such a variety of losses, physical processes therein and variations due to solar wind variations.
