Measurements of plasma, plasma waves, and suprathermal charged particles in Saturn's inner magnetosphere.

The Pioneer 11 and Voyager 1, 2 traversals of Saturn's inner magnetosphere provided direct information on the complex and highly structured distributions of plasma and suprathermal charged particles present in this region. The Voyager wave instruments also yielded absolute electron density measurements in certain inner magnetosphere locations, and the wave data were used to evaluate the magnitudes of several wave-particle interactions. We summarize the plasma and wave measurements for 24-hour periods centered around closest approach; evaluate pitch-angle scattering effects that could be expected to be associated with measured whistler mode turbulence, and speculate on the effects of wave-particle interactions associated with electrostatic waves.
