Comparing Jupiter and Saturn: dimensionless input rates from plasma sources within the magnetosphere
The quantitative significance for a planetary magnetosphere of plasma sources associated with a moon of the planet can be assessed only by expressing the plasma mass input rate in dimensionless form, as the ratio of the actual mass input to some reference value. Traditionally, the solar wind mas...
