- Description:
- Plot of the spacecraft position in cylindrical coordinates for the 65 grouped plasmoids and TCRs, where z is positive northward from Saturn's equatorial plane and ρ is cylindrical distance from Saturn's spin/magnetic axis. The black diamonds show event positions observed on the initial equatorial orbits of the interval considered here with latitude less than 1°, while the red diamonds show event positions on the later high‐latitude orbits. The solid black line shows the estimated mean position of the equatorial current sheet, 1 RS northward of that given by the Arridge et al. [] model, calculated specifically for conditions in the middle of the year 2006 (days 142–162), though the variation over the interval is small.
