Modeling Points to Magnetic Signals from Ganymede’s Subsurface Ocean

New kinematic induction models suggest ocean circulation within Ganymede’s subsurface sea can generate detectable magnetic signatures. The study explores deep- and shallow-ocean scenarios, coupling simulated zonal jets with internal and Jovian magnetic fields.
