Abstract

A climatological survey of Martian ionospheric plasma density irregularities was conducted by exploring the in-situ measurements of the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) spacecraft. The irregularities were first classified as enhancement, depletion, and oscillation. By checking the simultaneous magnetic field fluctuation, the irregularities have been classified into two types: with or without magnetic signatures. The classified irregularities exhibit diverse global occurrence patterns, as those with magnetic signatures tend to appear near the periphery of the crustal magnetic anomaly (MA), and those without magnetic signatures prefer to appear either inside of the MA or outside of the MA, depending on the type and solar zenith angle. Under most circumstances, the irregularities have a considerable occurrence rate at altitudes above the ionospheric dynamo height (above 200 km), and the magnetization state of the ions seems irrelevant to their occurrence. In addition, the irregularities do not show dependence on magnetic field geometry, except that the enhancement without magnetic signatures favors the vertical field line, implying its equivalence to the localized bulge. Other similarities and discrepancies exist in reference to previous studies. We believe this global survey complements previous research and provides crucial research clues for future efforts to clarify the nature of the Martian ionospheric irregularities.

火星电离层不规则现象分类总气候学
通过探索火星大气和挥发物进化(MAVEN)航天器的现场测量数据,对火星电离层等离子体密度不规则现象进行了气候学调查。首先将不规则现象分为增强、耗竭和振荡。通过检查同时发生的磁场波动,不规则现象被分为两类:有磁场特征和无磁场特征。根据类型和太阳天顶角的不同,有磁特征的不规则体往往出现在地壳磁异常(MA)的外围附近,而无磁特征的不规则体则出现在地壳磁异常的内部或外部。在大多数情况下,不规则现象在电离层动力高度(200 公里以上)以上的高度有相当高的出现率,离子的磁化状态似乎与它们的出现无关。此外,不规则现象并不取决于磁场的几何形状,只是无磁特征的增强有利于垂直磁场线,这意味着它等同于局部隆起。与以往研究相比,还存在其他相似之处和差异。我们认为这次全球调查是对以往研究的补充,为今后澄清火星电离层不规则现象的性质提供了重要的研究线索。
