Abstract: Atmospheric escape is a fundamental process in the long‐term habitability evolution of terrestrial planets. Recent observations on Mars have found the concurrence of the severe ionospheric erosion and the large‐amplitude, quasi‐perpendicular magnetosonic waves. However, whether… read more here.
