Interactions of Titan's Atmosphere & Exosphere with Surrounding
Plasmas.
The specific Cassini magnetosphere scientific objectives related
to the study of the interactions of Titan's atmosphere and exosphere
with the surrounding charged-particle flows are to:
Measure electron density and temperature in the vicinity
of Titan.
Investigate the interactions of Titan's upper atmosphere,
exosphere, and ionosphere with the magnetosphere and solar wind.
Characterize the plasma input to the magnetosphere from Titan's
atmosphere, exosphere, and neutral torus.
Monitor the loss rate and composition of particles lost from
Titan's atmosphere due to ionization and pickup.
Investigate Titan's induced magnetosphere.
Study Titan's hydrogen torus as a source of magnetospheric
plasma.
