Scientific paper

The Cassini Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS) has been returning observations of the plasma properties in Saturn's magnetosphere since orbit insertion in 2004. From measurements of the CAPS Ion Mass Spectrometer (IMS), we have computed the bulk plasma moments (density, temperature, flow velocity) for the three major ion species: protons, molecular hydrogen ions, and water-group ions (consisting of O+, OH+, H2O+, and H3O+). The first survey of these plasma properties has recently been published. The present study extends that survey by including an additional year of data and by addressing other aspects of the observations, such as the temporal variability and the dependence on local time and other relevant parameters.
