Contours for the in the orbital view for case 1 (A), case 2 (B) and case 3 (C). There is a bow wave resulting in a density buildup upstream of Titan present in each case. Each case shows a density drop out on the wakeside that corresponds to the density streams shown in Fig. 13. There is a density build up along the Saturn-facing side of the wake region for each case. The turbulent densities in the anti-Saturn side of the interaction correspond to the plasma blobs present in Fig. 13.
