Abstract
Phobos 2 plasma measurements have revealed the solar wind deceleration upstream of the Martian terminator bow shock. Earlier studies have shown that the solar wind is decelerated and deflected in the Earth's foreshock region. At Mars, the solar wind decelerated more at duskside than at dawnside. At Earth the solar wind decelerates most upstream of the quasi-parallel bow shock in the foreshock region. In this paper, we investigate and compare the solar wind deceleration at Mars and Earth.
