Very little attention has been paid to atmospheric studies on planets, comets and moon in India. We have been always involved in modeling of these studies. This has yielded some important scientific results on Mars. In brief, these results are discussed in five phases as given below :
Space missions Mars 4/5, Viking 1/2, Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) and Mars Express (MEX) have provided insufficient data in the Martian atmosphere. Based on a rigorous analysis and modeling of these data we have suggested three mechanisms for variation of ionization at different altitudes involving meteoroid ablation, precipitation of solar wind electron and proton from dayside to nightside atmosphere along the interplanetary magnetic field lines near the terminator (Figure 1). The novelty of the model developed by us is the use of 57 chemical reactions, three sources of ionizations (solar wind electrons, protons and meteoroids) for the calculation of production rates, ion and electron density, which successfully explains complete electron density profiles of the measurements. The first and second peaks have been obtained at about 160 km and 120 km due to transportation of electron and proton respectively from dayside to nightside across the terminator. We have found that third peak is sporadic which occurred sometimes at altitude ranges 80-100 km due to meteor ablations. We were first to produce three plasma layers simultaneously in the nighttime ionosphere due to impact of meteoroids, solar wind proton and electron, respectively (ref. 13 & 14).
We have extended above model for the estimation of electron density profiles in the dayside ionosphere of Mars. The daytime model produces three plasma layers simultaneously due to impact of meteoroids, solar X-ray (0.5-9nm) and EUV (9-102.6 nm) radiations at altitude range 75-85 km, 110-115 km and 135-140 km respectively (Figure 2). Based on these model results we proposed that all atmospheric ions (CO2+, N2+, O+, CO+, O2+ and NO+) are produced above 100 km due to solar EUV/X-ray radiation. The metallic ions are formed in the middle ionosphere (50-100 km) due to ablation of micrometeoroids. These calculations were carried out for two specific days of measurements made by MEX and MGS on 18 April, 2004 and 11 May, 2005, when comets P/2003 WC7 (LINEAR Catalina) and 10P/Tempel 2 intersected the orbit of Mars respectively. The model results are compared with these observations. It is found that the middle ionosphere of Mars strongly depends on incoming mass and flux of the meteoroids. The solar EUV energy is deposited within smaller altitude range (~125-145 km) in the upper ionosphere of Mars as compared to the corresponding altitude range (~200-250 km) in the upper ionosphere of Earth. Thus the height of the major peak produced by solar EUV is lower by a factor of ~2 in the Martian ionosphere as compared to that observed in the ionosphere of Earth. X-ray energy created a plasma layer at nearly the same heights (~100-115 km) in the ionospheres of both planets but the layer thickness is considerably less on Mars than on Earth (ref. 13 & 25).
The E layer is produced in the dayside ionosphere of Mars at altitude range 100-115 km due to X-ray impact ionization. Several solar flares occurred during the lifetime of MGS. Responses of these flares in the E region ionosphere of Mars have been reported by several investigators. The modeling of flare induced production rate and electron density are not carried out in the Martian ionosphere. We modeled solar X-ray fluxes measured aboard GOES 12 during the periods 29 May to 3 June 2003, 15-20 January 2005 and 12-18 May 2005 and investigated the effects on ion production rates and electron densities produced by individual X-ray flares that occurred within these intervals. Later Total Electron Content (TEC) was estimated for each case in the E region ionosphere of Mars using the modeled solar X-ray spectra. The calculated TEC values were then compared with the measured TEC obtained from E region electron density profiles of MGS.
A 3D kinetic, solar wind model, HAFv2 was also used to predict interplanetary shock arrivals at Mars during the May 2005 event. This model confirmed that high ram pressure shock waves associated with propagating CME events reached the Martian ionosphere after 1-2 days of the eruptions of X-ray flare (Figure 3). We have found a large increase (by a factor of ~2-5) in TEC due to solar X-ray flares and Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) on the Martian ionosphere. This study provided a detailed understanding of Martian auroral X-ray phenomena and has substantive implications for the coupling of solar wind with the ionosphere of Mars. In this study we have provided a new mechanism for the generation of magnetic storms on Mars (ref. 9, 10 & 16)
We have carried out the first extensive theoretical study of low latitude ionosphere of Mars. In this study we have demonstrated that photoelectron transport was a key determinant for an order of magnitude reduction in the ion/electron density at high altitudes. Using a detailed computational study of the transport processes, we suggested that the physics of low latitude Martian ionosphere of Mars is substantively different from the mid and high latitude ionospheres. This theoretical prediction awaits experimental validation and in the absence of ionospheric measurements at low latitude of Mars, these results now serve as benchmark values that guide the design of future ionospheric payloads. This study opens up a new realm of research to measure and confirm the effects of photoelectron transport on the dynamics of Martian ionosphere, (Ref.22, 28).
Understanding of the lower ionosphere of Mars is limited due to lack of observations in this region. We have developed a coupled chemistry and energy loss model to study the ion production/loss rates, densities of positive and negative ions in the lower ionosphere of Mars. In this model 12 neutral species (CO2, N2, Ar, O2, H2, CO, H2O, O, O2, NO, NO2 and HNO2) were used. Galactic cosmic rays are the major source in the lower ionosphere of Mars. Initially this source ionizes the neutral species, creating positive ions. These ions then interact with 100 chemical reactions incorporated in this model. This model suggests that water cluster ions H+(H2O)n(n=1- 4) are the most dominant at about 25 km. Amongst the negative ions electrons play an important role above 40 km, while below this height CO3-(H2O)n and NO2-(H2O)n are dominant ions (Ref. 8 & 15)
Recently we have included dust aerosols in this model to study the effects of dust storms in the Martian atmosphere. The densities of positive and negative ions in presence and absence of dust storms were estimated. It is found that concentrations of water cluster ions H+(H2O)n , NO2O-(H2O)n and CO3-(H2O)n were reduced by 2 orders of magnitude in presence of dust aerosols (Figure 4A & B). These results suggested that during the massive dust storms lower ionosphere of Mars is significantly perturbed and a large hole in the ion concentrations may appear until this anomalous condition returns to the normal condition after a period of about a few days (Ref. 27)
During dust storms heavy aerosol particles may absorb light ions, which are moving in the atmosphere. This process can produce a large electric field in the Martian atmosphere during a storm period. The possible occurrence of large E fields and associated electric discharges has a potentially important implication for Martian atmospheric chemistry, human exploration, habitability and even the possible development of life.
Theoretical aspects on the interaction of solar wind with earth and other planets will be studied in detail under this programme. This study is possible by developing three dimensional magnetodydrodynamic model which can explain obstacle, shapes, sizes and extension of the tail which are generated by the strength and direction of the solar wind approaching the planets and interacting them.
The long term objective is to compare physical and chemical processes responsible for the dynamical structures of the thermospheres of Venus, Earth and Mars. The atmospheres of these planets are driven by similar forcing agents and subsequently change over time both naturally and in the case of earth as a result of human influence.
This approach is based on Monte Carlo method. In this method mono energetic electron of different incident energies are introduced in a gas medium. The energy of secondary or tertiary electrons and their positions were calculated at time when primary electrons ionize the atmospheric constituents. In this way, yield spectrum function was generated for the calculation of the yield of any state in the mixture of gases. The function was fitted analytically later. This approach has been found very useful for low and medium energy loss processes in planetary ionospheres.
These models are developed in the laboratory using finite difference method and are being used in many problems of planetary atmospheres.
The computer modelling of solar wind interaction with planetary magnetospheres and its assoscaited current system is now current interests of scientists throughout the globe. This study has been started by developing three dimensional MHD model which can explain obstacle, shapes, sizes and extension of the tail which are generated by strength and direction of the solar wind approaching the planet and interacting with them.
A kinetic model for polar ion exosphere of magnetic planets is developed in the laboratory to calculate escape flux and density of ions and electrons through the plasma sheet at different exospheric electron temperatures along the magnetic field lines originating from the baropause at high altitude.
