Abstract

The magnetospheres surrounding Jupiter and Saturn are unique in the solar system because of their important internal plasma sources, rapid planetary rotation and strong magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling, the prevailing solar wind conditions, and the complex multi-phase and multi-species nature of their magnetospheric plasma and neutral environments. In this chapter the large-scale structure of the jovian and saturnian magnetospheres will be reviewed. The physical origins of this structure will be examined and we discuss dynamical and periodic modulations within each system and their responses to internal and external perturbations.
