TL;DR: The Cluster Ion Spectrometry (CIS) experiment as discussed by the authors measured the full, three-dimensional ion distribution of the major magnetospheric ions (H+, He+, He++, and O+) from the thermal energies to about 40 keV/e.

TL;DR: Vector magnetic field observations of the martian crust were acquired by the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) magnetic field experiment/electron reflectometer (MAG/ER) during the aerobraking and science phasing orbits, at altitudes between approximately 100 and 200 kilometers.

TL;DR: The magnetometer and electron reflectometer investigation on the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft has obtained magnetic field and plasma observations throughout the near-Mars environment, but here the discovery of multiple magnetic anomalies of small spatial scale in the crust of Mars is reported.

TL;DR: It is shown that during northward solar-wind magnetic field conditions—in the absence of active reconnection at low latitudes—there is aSolar-wind transport mechanism associated with the nonlinear phase of the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability that can supply plasma sources for various space weather phenomena.

TL;DR: The first measurements of the electric field fluctuation spectrum over the inertial and dissipative wave number ranges in a Beta > or approximately = 1 plasma are presented, and the wave phase speed in this regime is shown to be consistent with the Alfvén speed.
