Abstract
Model calculations indicate that the lower ionosphere of Saturn is controlled by photochemical processeswith basic features similar to the Jovian ionosphere. The scale height of the upper ionosphere is large (∼3350 km). A peak electron density of ∼105cm−3 2250 km above a 1019cm−3 reference level is expected assuming an eddy coefficient at the homopause of 1.3 × 106cm²s−1 and a relatively hot exosphere at 1300K.
