Owing to the large size of the dataset, scientists interested in it are encouraged to contact the authors directly. The atmospheric properties used in the present study have been taken from the Mars Climate Database http://www-mars.lmd.jussieu.fr/. Schumann resonances are standing waves that oscillate in the electromagnetic cavity formed between the conducting lower ionosphere and the surface of the planet. They have been measured in situ only on Earth and Titan, although they are believed to exist on other planets like Mars. We report numerical simulations of the Martian electromagnetic cavity, accounting for the day-night asymmetry and different dust scenarios. It has been found that the resonances are more energetic on the nightside, the first resonance is expected to be 9–14 Hz depending on the dust activity and to have low quality factors (Q ≃ 2). This work serves as an input for the upcoming Exomars surface platform (launch 2020), who will attempt to measure them for the first time. 2019-12-12T12:00:01Z 2019-12-12T12:00:01Z 2017-01-17 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Toledo-Redondo, S., A.
