Cloud features and zonal wind measurements of Saturn's atmosphere as observed by Cassini/VIMS

Brown, R. H.; Showman, A. P.; Choi, D. S.

We present an analysis of data about Saturn's atmosphere from Cassini's Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS), focusing on the meteorology of the features seen in the 5 µm spectral window. We present VIMS mosaics and discuss the morphology and general characteristics of the features backlit by Saturn's thermal emission. We have als…
