Scientific paper

Wavelength dispersion and waveform modeling methods are applied to 29 wavelike features noted in radio occultation profiles of the rings of Saturn. Accumulation of mass near resonance is suggested by the surface density estimates' exceeding of dispersion-derived values by 20-40 percent. The model waveforms of overlapping waves excited by Janus and Epimetheus are in good agreement with observed linear-region morphologies near resonance; mass estimates that are underdense relative to water ice are implied for Janus, Epimetheus, Prometheus, and Pandora.
