“…A few pressure drop events have been found to exhibit magnetic signals; however the origin of these was unclear (Charalambous et al, 2021;. A passing vortex, if a DD, could be observed in IFG data via one or more of the following possible mechanisms: (1) Triboelectrically charged lofted dust, as suggested for terrestrial DD magnetic emission (Farrell et al, 2006;Kurgansky, Baez, & Ovalle, 2007), (2) Changing solar array currents as a result of entrained dust of a passing DD obscuring the solar arrays (as observed at InSight during transits of Phobos (Stähler et al, 2020), (3) Ground tilting resulting from the pressure lows at the center of convective vortices (Lognonné et al, 2020 that changes the orientation of the IFG in the ambient crustal magnetic field, and (4) similarly, wind-induced tilt of the lander as explored previously for the seismometer on the lander deck (Murdoch et al, 2017, Panning et al, 2020. The goal is therefore to establish, if, when, and why pressure drops at the InSight lander have associated magnetic signals and in particular to evaluate whether any such signals can be attributed to DDs.…”
