Abstract: Long-periodic (LP) modulations of intensity of Saturnian Kilometric Radiation (SKR) recorded by RPWS instrument onboard Cassini spacecraft were studied by means of a combined data analysis algorithm based on a ”sliding window” Fourier (SWF) procedure and the nonlinearWigner-Ville (WV) method. The analyzed SKR data record covers the years 2004-2005. It has been found that SKR has well pronounced impulsive modulation, with quasi-periodic pulses appeared approximately each 10.74 hours and having duration of about 5 hours. The period of pulses, in spite of the overall stability, has sometimes the disturbances within the interval of 10.74 - 10.76 hours. By this, the whole impulsive modulation of SKR appeared in 2004-2005 in a form of quasi-regularly repeated modulation activity storms. Time interval between the adjacent modulation activity storms most often was within 8-13 days. Altogether, 55 impulsive modulation activity storms were registered during 2004-2005. Besides of the storms of 10.7 h pulses, the intensity of SKR has several more long periodic modulations. In particular, ~6-7 days, ~8-9 days, ~12-13 days and ~25-27 days components were detected. These are connected probably with the quasi-regular character of the storms of 10.74 h pulses. While the origin of 10.74 hour pulses can be associated with the rotation of Saturn, the long periodic modulation features are very likely connected with the detected similar variations of the solar wind parameters. The last in their turn may be caused by the varying solar surface magnetic activity and rotating streams of high speed solar wind. Besides of that, the performed analysis shows that some Saturnian moons may also have influence on the intensity of SKR. In particular, specific modulations with periods corresponding to orbital motions of close moons (Enceladus, Tethys) as well as Titan, Hyperion and Dione were detected.

… The 7th International Workshop on "Planetary, Solar and Heliospheric Radio Emissions" is the continuation of an established tradition: This PRE VII conference followed previous successful international workshops held at Graz, Austria, in 1984, 1987, 1991, 1996, 2001, and 2005. This 7th workshop in September 2010 offered again the unique opportunity to discuss the observations from Cassini at Saturn and to investigate the measurements by other spacecraft and from the ground of the Jovian, terrestrial and solar radio emissions, also including studies on radiation from exoplanetary sources.
