Comparison of plasma data from ASPERA-3/Mars-Express with a 3-D hybrid simulation

The ELS and IMA sensors of the ASPERA-3 experiment onboard of Mars-Express (MEX) can measure electron as well as ion moments. We compare these measurements for a specific orbit with the simulation results from a 3-D hybrid model. In the hybrid approximation the electrons are modeled as a...
