Fig. 4.

Latitudinal variations of (a) the spacecraft potential, (b) the density of dust with sd > 0.9 µm, and (c) the electron temperature. Three spacecraft profiles shown in (a) represent the same conditions as those in Fig. 3(a). Because of the concentration of dust particles near the ring plane, the spacecraft is charged less negatively at lower latitude.
