“…Apart from observations, several attempts have been made to model the solar wind plasma interaction with lunar magnetic anomalies theoretically, numerically, and experimentally using single dipole [ Siscoe and Goldstein , ; Harnett and Winglee , , ; Poppe et al , ; Kallio et al , ; Wang et al , , ; Shaikhislamov et al , ; Jarvinen et al , ; Deca et al , ; Ashida et al , ] and multidipole [ Harnett and Winglee , ] approximations. Generally, these models, consistent with observations, have shown that strong magnetic anomalies may shield the lunar surface from solar wind and have a direct impact on surface weathering and swirl albedo markings [ Blewett et al , ; Poppe et al , ].…”
