Nightside Time Domain Electromagnetic Sounding with ARTEMIS: Challenges of Isolating Induction from the Lunar Interior
Electromagnetic sounding analyses THEMIS-ARTEMIS magnetic field data to isolate and identify induced magnetic fields to determine the electrical conductivity of the lunar interior. The transfer function method uses two observations one near the Moon and one far from lunar effects. We focus on induction within the nightside wake cavity performing a visual inspection in the time domain. Large transients are naturally occurring and can excite telluric currents within conducting layers within the lunar interior according to the skin depth of the signal. Time windows within wake passes with one probe close and the other far have been identified within 10 years of ARTEMIS data. We discuss initial conclusions and challenges of isolating interior induction within the lunar plasma environment.
