Recent numerical modelling studies4,8 have shown that under specific circumstances polar energy inputs may explain the high thermospheric temperatures at Saturn. But these studies consider only the effects of pure thermal energy inputs on the thermosphere, whereas the bulk of the polar energy input from the To include the polar energy inputs, we require models of the This model predicts that the magnetosphere will exert a westward ion drag on the thermosphere poleward of ,65u latitude. indication is thus that the polar energy inputs resolve the high-latitude that the polar energy inputs do not reproduce the observed temperature of the cooling effect and thus resolve the low-latitude energy crisis, we inputs are not the solution to the low-latitude energy crisis at Saturn, ./cache/work_6q3m3nkhozcbzm5hlgxtlzragm.pdf ./txt/work_6q3m3nkhozcbzm5hlgxtlzragm.txt
