Scientific paper

Magnetic fields of Martian origin are investigated with experimental measurement data, and attention is given to an observed corotating magnetic field. The data include measurements of Phobos-2 dayside bow-shock crossings and Mars-2, -3, and -5 bow-shock subsolar point heights related to Martian longitudes. Also examined are the power spectra of magnetic field components from 89 hrs of continuous measurements at the circular orbit, and maximum entropy estimates are used to derive periodic components. The estimated field strengths and evidence of a magnetic anomaly suggest a solar wind-ionosphere/exosphere interaction similar to that noted for Venus by Reidler et al. (1989). The mechanism is modulated by a global Martian magnetic field and can explain the varying measurements of plasma and magnetic field noted in the experimental data.
