Scientific paper

After two years in orbit around Saturn the Cassini RPWS (Radio and Plasma Wave Science) instrument has recorded six storms of Saturn Electrostatic Discharges (SEDs), which are believed to be the radio signatures of lightning flashes in Saturn's atmosphere. We will show their main physical characteristics like burst and episode durations, burst rates, periodicity of episodes, intensities, and polarization. Furthermore, we will take a closer look at the low frequency cutoff of SED episodes, which should provide some clues about Saturn's ionosphere.
