Figure 10From: Current understanding of the aeronomy of Mars Measured ion escape fluxes. Mars Express measured the solar cycle variation (Figure 3b from [27]) of O escape measured in the tail for 4 time intervals of data from 2007 through 2013. Average O escape fluxes are plotted vs. monthly F10.7 (normalized in plot) measured at Earth. Dark circles correspond to independently derived rates from earlier studies.Back to article page
