30 CASS/UCSD-STELab AOGS_2009 Solar Mass Ejection Imager (SMEI) 3D-reconstructions of the Inner Heliosphere IPS solar wind pressure 3D-reconstruction at Mars from 1999 - 2004 Time lags between ram pressure peaks (from a sample of 37 peaks). A positive shift indicates a lag in the IPS-derived pressure peak from that from MGS.

31 CASS/UCSD-STELab AOGS_2009 Solar Mass Ejection Imager (SMEI) 3D-reconstructions of the Inner Heliosphere a) SMEI allows derivation of global densities including that from CMEs at high spatial and temporal resolution using Thomson-scattering brightness. b) IPS allows derivation of global velocity, and through conversion of g-level to density – global densities, at low resolution from STELab data, including for CMEs. c) These have been combined to compare with Mars Global Surveyor magnetometer data where solar wind pressure have been derived from 1999 – 2004. Still needed – IPS velocity data from more radio sources in order to provide better velocity resolutions in comparison with derived global densities. Summary:
