Scientific paper

Individual and comparative analyses are conducted for 29 of the wavelike features revealed by optical depth profiles of Saturn's rings; of these, 18 are in Ring A, one is in Ring B, and 10 are in Ring C. Only 20 of these were identifiable with known resonances, and all eight of the unexplained wave features are in Ring C. For 14 weak density waves in Ring A, a linear density wave theory modeling of the waveform near resonance yields independent estimates of the surface mass density together with reliable estimates of resonance location.
