dc.description.abstractFifty‐nine ionsopheric radio occultation observations of the vertical electron density profile in the Saturn ionosphere have been made since the Cassini spacecraft was inserted in orbit around Saturn in 2004. Significant orbit to orbit variations were observed, but the general trend noted in earlier orbits, namely, increasing electron densities with increasing latitude was reconfirmed and bolstered with this extended data base. This trend is likely to be due to some combination of increasing ionization rates and decreasing water influx with latitude. Key Points Density properties of the ionosphere diminish with decreasing latitude This diminution starts over the main rings and is maximum inside the D ring This confirms transport of water from the tingsen_US
