Extended Data Fig. 6: Magnetic field signals during vortices.

Extended Data Fig. 6

A few vortices show a very small (<1 nT) magnetic signal, typically in the North and East components. One example is shown here for sol 15 (11 December, 2018). 20 Hz IFG data are routinely requested in a 6-minute interval around a pressure drop identified by the Mars Weather Service team. (a) BX, (b) BY in the LL frame for 20 Hz IFG data (gray dots), and for these data down-sampled via FIR-filtering to 1 Hz and 0.2 Hz (the cadence of the continuous data on sol 15), and (c) pressure. Time of the pressure drop (> 1Pa) indicated by vertical dashed line.
