Short summary
The paraboloid model of Saturn’s magnetosphere describes the magnetic field of the planet, the ring current, magnetopause current, and the tail current. The model parameters are determined by comparison with the Cassini magnetic field data from 18 near-equatorial passes that span wide ranges of LT. The best-fit model parameters are employed to determine how the parameters vary with the subsolar distance of the magnetopause, governed by pressure balance at the magnetospheric boundary.
