Scientific paper

In this paper, using opportune periods during the five years of MGS radio occultation observations of the Martian ionosphere, we examine the short-term variability in the ionospheric profile peak densities and peak heights. During solar maximum, strong solar rotational signatures were observed. On Mars, the morphology of the ionosphere is thought to be controlled by photochemical processes (coupled with the neutral atmosphere). In this paper, we will present the observed magnitude of the variabilities the phasing with solar forcing, and quantify the source mechanisms with a 1-D ionospheric model.
