Lower Surface Temperature at Bright Ephemeral Feature Site on Titan's North Pole
Barnes, Jason W.; Dhingra, Rajani D.; Cottini, Valeria +1 more
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…
Interaction of Saturn's Hexagon With Convective Storms
Hueso, R.; Sánchez-Lavega, A.; Barry, T. +8 more
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 …
