The latitudinal structure of the nightside outer magnetosphere of Saturn as revealed by velocity moments of thermal ions
In this study we investigate the latitudinal behavior of the azimuthal plasma velocities in the outer magnetosphere of Saturn using the numerical ion moments derived from the measurements of the Cassini Plasma Spectrometer. One of the new results presented is that although these moments display...
