| Abstract: | A simplified model for the interaction of the cold solar wind with lunar magnetic anomalies is considered. Since on the illuminated
side of the Moon the dynamic pressure of the solar wind significantly exceeds the magnetic pressure of the anomalies, upward
propagation of the lunar field is possible only by means of diffusion. This process does not depend on the velocity but only
on the concentration of the solar wind and the characteristic size of anomalies. Theoretical calculations are compared with
the data of Apollo 12 and Explorer 35. |
