Scientific paper

The transport of upward-flowing ions from the dayside and nightside ionosphere of Mars, at different latitudes and longitudes toward the tail and in the presence of electric and magnetic fields counteracting planetary gravity, is addressed by a model through which ion density distributions are calculated at different exospheric plasma temperatures in the 200-8000 km altitude range. A comparison of the results thus obtained with data from the Automatic Space Plasma Experiment with Rotating Analyzer indicates that the O(+), O2(+), and NO(+) ions are present in the distant tail at 2000 K.
