Mars, for the same electron density and signal frequency, is much more severe than in Earth's atmosphere. 2. Observations and analysis. MARSIS can be operated either in a ground sounding mode or in the Active Ionosphere Sounder (AIS) mode. Here we use data obtained in the AIS mode. The radar operates between ...

Earth's ionosphere has been probed extensively by radar methods: – Send pulses of gradually increasing frequency upwards. – Then measure the delay until the reflected pulse is detected. – The frequency at which reflection ceases gives the density. – The delay gives the height.
