The solar UV irradiance from the thermosphere of Saturn and the solar wind are the most probable sources to account for the long - term variability of the electron radiation belts (Roussos et al. 2014), suggesting that external drivers play indeed an important role in Saturn's magnetospheric dynamics.
The Earth's field is not constant either, it shows similar decadal variability, as shown in the data from and used by number of distinguished geo - magnetic scientists and researchers (Jault Gire, LeMouel, J. Bloxham, D. Gubbins, A.Jackson, R. Hide, D. Boggs, J. Dickey etc,) Since changes in either of two fields affect strength of the magnetosphere, it would be expected that the «magnetospheric variability» time function could be produced by combining two sets of available data.
