Abstract
⺠Peak electron density fluctuation of 6% is observed in Martian ionosphere. ⺠They are physical and uncorrelated to magnetic anomalies. ⺠Their power spectra follow the â5/3 power law, implying the existence of turbulence. ⺠Density fluctuation in the neutral atmosphere is proposed to be the cause. ⺠This phenomenon may serve as a proxy of the turbulence in upper Martian atmosphere.
