The data from the Mars Global Surveyor MAG/ER demonstrate that the magnetic fields observed near Mars are different from what is expected in the case of standard draping of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) around a non-magnetic body. In the draping picture, the draped magnetic fields alternate polarity following IMF polarity. One can expect parity when looking at data from long periods. Meanwhile there is an excess of one polarity near Mars. We discuss the processes that may be responsible for producing the asymmetric distribution of magnetic field in the near-Mars environment.
