Scientific paper

Voyager 1 magnetometer data have shown that small-amplitude surface waves occurred on Saturn's dayside magnetopause, causing multiple inbound crossings of this boundary. These waves were travelling approximately parallel to Saturn's equatorial plane along the magnetopause ('tailward'), suggesting that they were driven by the rotation of Saturn's magnetosphere. Hydromagnetic waves (possibly slow mode) were observed in the adjacent magnetosheath.
