Observation of Electric Field Enhancement at Ion Composition Boundary at Mars and Its Relation to Oxygen Acceleration

Abstract Direct electric field measurements during certain ionosphere‐magnetosheath transitions on the dayside of Mars reveal a presence of localized (<20 km thickness along vertical direction) strong (>40 mV/m) electric field located at the solar wind stagnation point. This electric field is...
