TL;DR: The magnetic field experiment on WIND will provide data for studies of a broad range of scales of structures and fluctuation characteristics of the interplanetary magnetic field throughout the mission, and, where appropriate, relate them to the statics and dynamics of the magnetosphere.

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 magnetic field experiment on ACE provides continuous measurements of the local magnetic field in the interplanetary medium as discussed by the authors, which are essential in the interpretation of simultaneous ACE observations of energetic and thermal particles distributions.

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: The Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft obtained vector magnetic field measurements above the surface of Mars and groups of quasi-parallel linear features of alternating magnetic polarity were found, reminiscent of similar magnetic features associated with sea floor spreading and crustal genesis on Earth but with a much larger spatial scale.
