Rice convection model simulations of the centrifugal interchange instability in the magnetospheres of Jupiter and Saturn

Radial plasma transport in Jupiter's and Saturn's magnetospheres is driven by the centrifugal interchange instability. Simulations with the Rice Convection Model (RCM) of the injection-dispersion phenomenon in Saturn's magnetosphere produce interchange convection cells stretching outw...
