Scientific paper

We present results of a 3D global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model of the Saturnian system during the month of January, 2004. During this month, Cassini made measurements of the solar wind conditions upstream of Saturn while at the same time HST measurements were made of the Saturnian aurora and remote sensing measurements of the Saturn Kilometric Radiation(SKR) were made. Using both Cassini data and data propagated from Earth as input to our MHD model, we examine the state of the magnetosphere-ionosphere system for this period. In addition we examine the correlations between remote sensing measurements and the simulations. The model includes all the major factors that influence the Kronian magnetosphere: solar wind IMF, planetary rotation, ionospheric conductivities, plasma mass loading and the magnetospheric interaction with Titan. In addition to the study of events during January, 2004, we will present model results showing the effect of different mass loading models on the Kronian magnetosphere.
