Sketches of the three views used to present the simulation results. (A) The polar view is the plane that contains the flow direction and the incident magnetic field. Saturn is located into the page. (B) The orbital view is Titan’s orbital plane. The plane contains the convection electric field and the flow. Saturn is located to the top in this view. (C) The projected view is the projection of an unwrapped sphere into a two-dimensional plane. The incident flow is into the center of the plane (0° latitude, 0° longitude). Saturn is in the direction normal to the plane at −90° latitude and 0° longitude. The bottom edge represents the south pole, the top edge the north pole, while the right and left edges meet on the back side.
