Saturn's Tropospheric Composition and Clouds from Cassini/VIMS 4.6-5.1 m Nightside Spectroscopy
Résumé
► Saturn's spectrum contains a low -opacity window allowing us to study the atmosphere beneath the tropospheric hazes. ► Up welling dredges ammonia, aerosols and phosphine to high altitudes at Satrun's equator. ► Strong extra-trophical upwelling and storms occur in broad regions near jets at 41N and 25S. ► Satrun's upper tropospheric hazes vary seasonally, whereas deep clouds are more uniform. ► Gases and clouds measured at 5 m can be used to trace the circulation of Saturn's deep atmosphere.
