“…Mars is unique among terrestrial planets in its possession of multiple magnetic anomalies of small spatial scale in the crust (e.g., Acuna et al, , ; Connerney et al, ), which leads to a complex pattern of ambient magnetic field configuration in the vicinity of the planet (e.g., Harada et al, ; Lillis et al, ; Mitchell et al, ; Weber et al, ; Xu, Mitchell, Liemohn, et al, , Xu, Mitchell, Luhmann, et al, ). The dayside and nightside mappings of both the magnetic field strength and elevation angle are displayed in Figure , extracted from the MAVEN Magnetometer level 2 data at 350–450 km (Connerney et al, ).…”
