Caption: Figure 4.

Distribution of CO₂ ionization efficiency at the top of the dayside Martian upper atmosphere across the surface of Mars. The crustal magnetic field map of Langlais et al. (2004), appropriate for an altitude of 400 km, is superimposed for comparison. The figure reveals an evident connection between regions with strong crustal fields and regions with high ionization efficiencies.
