The Geoeffective Halo Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) that departed from the Sun on 28 October 2003 also encountered the planet Mars. The Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) magnetometer/electron reflectometer (MAG/ER) instrument package detected the passage of the CME through elevated electron fluxes and an increase in the magnetic field magnitude in the magnetic pileup region over typical values. Unlike terrestrial space weather, global magnetic storms are not expected to occur at Mars because Mars does not have a significant global dipole magnetic field. However, interaction with the small-scale magnetic structures tied to the Martian crust does occur. We investigate space weather effects on the electron environment and magnetic field morphology as seen from the 400 km mapping altitude of MGS during the late October solar storms.
