Scientific paper

Using the Z3 description of Saturn's planetary magnetic field, the authors re-examine the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 observations to obtain an improved model ring current and magnetosphere. Inferences regarding the gross properties of the plasma entrapped in the magnetosphere are drawn from the model magnetosphere by using magnetohydrodynamic stress balance for a centrifugally distorted magnetosphere. Evidence is found in the Voyager 1 observations suggesting a high (southern) latitude current system active during the Voyager 1 encounter but dormant during the Voyager 2 encounter a year later.
