From: ELF magnetic fluctuations detected by Kaguya in deepest lunar wake associated with type-II protons

Figure 8

ELF wave activity and total force of lunar magnetic anomaly. Averaged power of 0.5 to 10 Hz wave activity detected on dayside (a) and nightside (b) of moon in solar wind projected onto lunar surface in ME coordinate system. (c) Total force of lunar magnetic anomaly calculated from Kaguya observation at 100-km altitude (adapted from Figure eleven of Tsunakawa et al., 2010). The ELF wave activity detected on the dayside is enhanced above the magnetic anomalies in the southern hemisphere of the far side of the moon, while that on the nightside is enhanced on the opposite side of the magnetic anomalies, suggesting that they were generated by type-II protons.
