Caption: Figure 10.

Azimuthal profiles of dust number density for particles larger than 1 μm at Phases 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°. The profiles are shown at ∣Z∣ = 30, 100, and 1000 km. Solid and dashed curves denote the northern and southern sides of the ring plane for A (2.1Rs), B (1.7Rs), and C rings (1.4Rs), respectively. The vertical black dashed lines mark characteristic azimuthal directions.
