For this work we have developed a\u0000numerical model of Titan's electromagnetic cavity as well as a surrogate model\u0000to conduct simulations and sensitivity analyses at a low computational cost.\u0000This surrogate model is used both to re-assess PWA/Huygens measurements and to\u0000predict the future performance of the EFIELD experiment on board the NASA\u0000Dragonfly mission. We demonstrate that the PWA/Huygens measurements, in\u0000particular due to their low spectral resolution, do not bring any meaningful\u0000constraint on Titan's ocean depth. On the other hand, the finer resolution of\u0000the EFIELD experiment and its ability to capture several harmonics of SR should\u0000provide more robust constraints on Titan's internal structure, especially if\u0000the electrical properties of the ice crust and the atmosphere can be better\u0000constrained.","PeriodicalId":501209,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Earth and Planetary Astrophysics","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141865375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
