Surface roughness of Titan's hydrocarbon seas

Lorenz, Ralph D.; Cassini Radar Team; Elachi, Charles +6 more

We derive fields of solutions for the surface properties (roughness and permittivity) of the liquid hydrocarbon bodies Ligeia, Kraken and Punga Mare on Titan by applying the Radar Statistical Reconnaissance (RSR) technique to the Cassini RADAR observations in altimeter mode during the northern early summer. At the time of observation, Kraken and L…
