Flow of mass and energy in the magnetospheres of Jupiter and Saturn

We present simple models of the plasma disks surrounding Jupiter and Saturn based on published measurements of plasma properties. We calculate radial profiles of the distribution of plasma mass, pressure, thermal energy density, kinetic energy density, and energy density of the suprathermal ion popu...
