在月球被阳光照射的一面，太阳风等离子体的能量显然足以将任何月球磁场限制在月球表面。据此，将限定太阳风流的作用表示为在月-太阳风边界施加表面电流，并用简单的核-壳模型计算月球内部感应磁场的频率函数。该解决方案提供了一种估算电导率的方法，从而可以从月球表面的磁场测量中获得月球内部的温度信息。
The solar wind plasma on the sunlit side of the moon is apparently energetic enough to confine any lunar magnetic fields within the lunar surface. Accordingly, the effect of the confining solar wind currents is represented by imposing a surface current at the moon-solar wind boundary, and the induced magnetic field in the lunar interior is calculated as a function of frequency for a simple core-crust model. The solution provides a method for estimating the electrical conductivity, and thus for obtaining information on the temperature, of the lunar interior from magnetic field measurements at the lunar surface.
