An Ancient Martian Dynamo Driven by Hemispheric Heating: Effect of Thermal Boundary Conditions

Magnetic field observations from the MGS, MAVEN, and InSight missions reveal that a dynamo was active in Mars’s early history. One unique feature of Mars’s magnetic crustal field is its hemispheric dichotomy, where magnetic fields in the southern hemisphere are much stronger than those in the northe...
