“…The existence of an asymmetry is suggested by Vennerstrom et al (2003) who conducted a statistical analysis of the magnetic field data collected by MGS. The same phenomenon is discussed by Brain et al (2005Brain et al ( , 2006. However, a detailed global data analysis concerning the formation of the ICB has not yet been performed.…”

“…The IMF y and z components of the Parker IMF case were derived from Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) data, recorded on February 27, 2004, with the method used by Fedorov et al (2006). The draped IMF measured by MGS is expected to have the same orientation in the y-z plane as the upstream IMF (Brain et al, 2006;Fedorov et al, 2006). This IMF data has also been used as input to the hybrid simulation performed in Diéval et al (submitted, 2011).…”

“…For pre-mapping data, determined the IMF draping direction from field vectors recorded immediately downstream from the bow shock, where field amplitudes are large enough that the determination is not overly sensitive to spacecraft-generated magnetic fields. For mapping data, Brain et al (2006) used the configuration of the draped IMF on the dayside, far from crustal fields, as indicative of the clock angle of the upstream IMF. Like the proxy for solar wind pressure, both these methods calculate a proxy on an orbit-byorbit basis, and assume that external conditions do not change during each orbit.…”
