Magnetic Field Fluctuations in Saturn's Magnetosphere

In the framework of turbulence, we analyze the statistical properties of magnetic field fluctuations measured by the Cassini spacecraft inside the Kronian magnetosphere. We focus on low-latitude passes, where Cassini is near the magnetic equator. In the power spectral densities of the fluctuations in frequency space measured in spacecraft frame we identify two power-law spectral ranges seperated by a spectral break around ion gyro-frequency. The mean spectral indices in the frequency range 0.05-1 Hz are ∼ 2.5 for the fluctuations perpendicular and parallel to the local mean magnetic field. The power-law spectral range below the spectral break is more variable and less pronounced, which may be due to nonconstant energy input on the corresponding scales. An increasing flatness with frequency indicates the build-up of intermittency.
