Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Using the spectrophotometric measurements data of 2015, the relation of values of the imaginary part n i of aerosol refractive index was determined for latitudinal belts 17° N, 33° N, 49° N, and 66° N of Saturn’s disc. A steadily decreasing tendency in the relative n i values when moving northward from the equatorial region of the disk to the latitude 49° N, inclusive, was revealed. The n i values in the 17° N and 49° N belts were found to differ significantly from other latitudinal regions of the giant planet’s disk.
