Short summary
Short summary
The polar light in its various colors and forms has fascinated human beings since ancient times. It is less well known that there are also radio emissions generated in the aurora at higher altitudes. Not just Earth, but some other planets of the solar system also have auroras and corresponding radio emissions. In our publication, we investigate and classify the spectral fine structures of a radio emission called Saturn kilometric radiation to find out more about this radiation process.

Short summary
This work presents a review of dust measurements from spacecraft Cassini, STEREO, MMS, Cluster, Maven and WIND. We also consider the details of dust impacts and charge generation, and how different antenna signals can be generated. We compare observational data to laboratory experiments and simulations and discuss the consequences for dust observation with the new NASA Parker Solar Probe and ESA Solar Orbiter spacecraft.

Short summary
In this paper we show that the large thunderstorm called the "Great White Spot", which raged for about 9 months in Saturn's troposphere in 2010/2011, was accompanied by changes in the periodicity and phasing of auroral radio emissions. We suggest that the thunderstorm was a source of intense gravity waves causing a global change in Saturn’s ionospheric winds via energy and momentum deposition. This supports the theory that Saturn’s magnetospheric periodicities are driven by the upper atmosphere.
