英文摘要 | Changes in solar radiation is one of the main drivers in modulating variations of the Martian ionosphere. In this investigation, we report the response of the Martian ionospheric electron density to changes in solar radiation as revealed from the electron density profiles from radio occultation observations by Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) and an empirical model of the total electron content (TEC) of Martian ionosphere. After considering the solar zenith angle dependence of the ionospheric electron density, with increasing solar radiation, the peak density of the M-2 layer in the Martian ionosphere tends to increase but with a decreased rate, while the peak height and neutral scale height of the M-2 layer do not show a significant change. The TEC of the occultation electron density profiles and the bottomside and topside TEC in the 100 similar to 200 km altitude range also increase with solar radiation, but all with a slower rate, indicating that there may be a saturation feature in the Martian ionosphere, similar to the earth' s ionosphere. The ratios of bottomside and topside TEC to the TEC from the empirical model are inversely correlated with changes of solar radiation. This inverse relationship tells that with increasing solar radiation, electron densities at altitudes above 200 km account for a greater proportion of TEC. This fact means that the control of dynamic processes in the topside Martian ionosphere gradually exceeds that of the photochemical process with increasing solar activity. |
