Superrotation is a dynamical regime where the atmosphere circulates around the planet in
the direction of planetary rotation with excess angular momentum in the equatorial region …

Polar vortices that share many similarities are found in Earth's stratosphere and the
atmospheres of Mars and Saturn's moon Titan. These vortices all occur in the winter, and are …

We report the detection of a spectral signature observed at 682 cm− 1 by the Cassini
Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) in nadir and limb geometry observations of Titan's …

Titan's stratosphere exhibits significant seasonal changes, including breakup and formation
of polar vortices. Here we present the first analysis of midinfrared mapping observations …

Titan's atmosphere exhibits variations in composition as it progresses through its seasons.
Past observations have shown a substantial enrichment in short-lived molecules in the …

Among the great diversity of atmospheric circulation patterns observed throughout the solar
system, polar vortices stand out as a nearly ubiquitous planetary‐scale phenomenon. In …

Abstract The Cassini/Composite InfraRed Spectrometer (CIRS) instrument has been
observing the middle atmosphere of Titan over almost half a Saturnian year. We used the …

The Cassini mission has provided the best opportunity to date to extensively study the
seasonal variation in Titan's atmosphere, with observations spanning almost half a Titan …

We use a two-dimensional (2D) radiative transfer model of Titan, which allows the
atmospheric structure to vary in both altitude and latitude, to retrieve the spatial distribution …

Titan's stratospheric ice clouds are by far the most complex of any observed in the solar
system, with over a dozen organic vapors condensing out to form a suite of pure and co …
