| Zusammenfassung |
| Since 2005 the Mars Advanced Radar and Ionospheric Sounding experiment
(MARSIS) aboard Mars Express has acquired a unique dataset on the
ionosphere of Mars made up of ionospheric soundings taken by the instrument
working in its active ionospheric sounding (AIS) mode. These soundings play
a role similar to those of modern Terrestrial digisondes in the analysis of
our planet ionosphere and have allowed us to dramatically improve our
knowledge about the Martian ionosphere. This paper describes this kind of
data, which are available from the public Planetary Science Archive, and
introduces the MAISDAT tool developed by the European Space Agency to
analyze and derive the vertical profile of electron density. Comparisons
with radio occultation profiles obtained from Mars Express Radio Science
instrument are performed to validate the procedure used in this study. |
