We report a temperature difference in one of the regions on Titan that is, documented as a bright ephemeral feature (BEF). Spectra were recorded by Cassini's Composite Infrared Spectrometer. BEFs are 5 µm bright areas that appear, disappear, and shift from flyby to flyby at Titan's North Pole observed in Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (V…

In March 2020, a convective storm erupted at planetographic latitude 76°N in the southern flank of Saturn's long lived hexagonal wave. The storm reached a zonal size of 4,500 km and developed a tail extending zonally 33,000 km. Two new short lived storms erupted in May in the hexagon edge. These storms formed after the convective storms that took …
