The interesting results from the distant tail encounter(T9) of the Cassini spacecraft with the induced magnetosphere of Titan has led us to a general investigation of the downstream portion of atmosphere-magnetoplasma flow interaction systems. We consider the conditions of the outer magnetosphere of Saturn (Titan) and Jupiter (Callisto) and the inner magnetosphere of Jupiter (Io) and Saturn (Enceladus). We shall particularly discuss the magnetotails and flow jets somewhat reminescent of the polar wind phenomenon caused by the interaction.
