Scientific paper

Voyager 1 plasma wave data show that the quasi-perpendicular, supercritical bow shock of Saturn exhibits the same plasma wave phenomenology observed near Jupiter. Using a quasi-linear model developed for the Jovian bow shock, the authors show that plasma waves at Saturn can generate a significant portion of the total electron temperature jump measured across the shock. In this respect, Saturn's bow shock more closely resembles Jupiter's than the Earth's, where plasma waves contribute negligibly to the total electron temperature jump.
