Physical parameters for the Saturn atmosphere computed by using voyager data

Abstract

We have computed the following physical parameters for the atmosphere of Saturn: 1) Temperature, 2) Pressure, 3) Density, 4) Density Scale, 5) Number Density, 6) Viscosity, 7) Mean Pressure Scale, 8) Mean Particle Velocity, 9) Mean Collisional Frequency, 10) Columnar Mass, and 11)Mean Free Path. Voyager 2 measurements have been used in order to compute the above parameters from 0 to 300 km above the top of the clouds. From 0 to 300 km below the top of the clouds, ground based measurements have been used.
