| Abstract: | The lightning hypothesis for Saturn's electrostatic discharges is discussed from the point of view of terrestrial lightning energetics. The total energy of a Saturnian lightning source is inferred to be about 1013 J; however, some SED characteristics are not consistent with a terrestrial-like lightning source. |
