The circular orbit phase of the mission reveals a bow shock with a highly varying location. The median terminator crossing lies at 2.72 Mars radii. The location of the bow shock in the terminator plane is sensitive to neither the EUV flux nor to planetary longitude.

WebSep 1, 2012 · [1] The reflection of solar wind protons on the Martian bow shock (BS) is investigated by means of three-dimensional simulation models. A two steps approach is adopted to allow a detailed analysis of the reflected population. Firstly, the 3-dimensional hybrid model of Modolo et al. (2005) is used to compute a stationary state of the … WebSep 1, 1992 · In addition it has been proposed that there is a comet-like mass addition process at Mars /5/. The evidence for the latter process is the presence of proton gyro frequency waves in the solar wind, just upstream of the subsolar bow shock. Both these phenomena have been discussed by Russell et al. /5/ in a preliminary report.
