Magnetospheric period magnetic field oscillations at Saturn: Equatorial phase “jitter” produced by superposition of southern and northern period oscillations
[1] We investigate magnetic field oscillations near the planetary rotation period in Saturn’s magnetosphere observed during the initial near‐equatorial phase of the Cassini mission. Phase determinations on 28 periapsis passes during this ∼2 year interval display pronounced nonrandom “jitter” relative to the ∼10.8 h modulations in the dominant southern Saturn kilometric radiation (SKR) emissions...
متن کاملMagnetospheric Plasma Sputtering of Io's Atmosphere
The existence of an atmosphere at Io is presumed and used as a starting point to generate neutral coronae produced by magnetospheric ion sputtering from the exobase and to calculate injection of neutrals and ions into the plasma torus. Several different exobase heights, temperatures, and compositions are used to characterize the neutral and ion ejection processes associated with possible atmosp...
متن کاملSolar cycle changes to planetary wave propagation and their in ̄uence on the middle atmosphere circulation
Recent observations suggest that there may be a causal relationship between solar activity and the strength of the winter Northern Hemisphere circulation in the stratosphere. A three-dimensional model of the atmosphere between 10±140 km was developed to assess the in ̄uence of solar minimum and solar maximum conditions on the propagation of planetary waves and the subsequent changes to the circu...
متن کاملMGS Radio Science electron density profiles: Interannual variability and implications for the Martian neutral atmosphere
[1] Martian electron density profiles provided by the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Radio Science (RS) experiment over the 95–200 km altitude range indicate wthat the height of the electron peak and the longitudinal structure of the peak height are sensitive indicators of the physical state of the Mars lower and upper atmospheres. The present analysis is carried out on five sets of occultation pro...
متن کاملCassini observations of planetary-period magnetic field oscillations in Saturn’s magnetosphere: Doppler shifts and phase motion
[1] Cassini magnetic field observations show that few-nT oscillations near the planetary rotation period, first observed in Pioneer-11 and Voyager-1 and -2 fly-by data, are essentially ubiquitous in Saturn’s magnetosphere, though their character differs between the quasi-dipolar ring current region and the dawn tail. Examination of data from the ringcurrent region shows, however, that the obser...
