AB: We present results from 12 ingress and egress soundings done within 10 degrees of Saturn's equator. Above the 100-mbar level, near the tropopause, the vertical profiles of temperature are marked by undulatory structure that may be associated with vertically propagating waves. We determine the properties and spectra of these waves, and speculate on their origins and their dynamical effects on the upper atmosphere.
