Gravitational perturbations associated with the acoustic-oscillation modes of Saturn may be reflected 'seismographically' by the planet's rings. While surface-displacement amplitudes of about 1 m for low-degree f-modes should produce detectable ring features, neither attributes of resonant locations and ring features can currently be ascertained with sufficient accuracy for rigorous testing of the ring-seismology hypothesis. More accurate determinations of ring feature characteristics may ultimately allow a determination of this seismological record.
