Electric properties and related physical characteristics of the atmosphere and surface of Titan

Lara, L. M.; Rodrigo, R.; López-Moreno, J. J. +17 more

The permittivity, waves and altimetry (PWA) instrument was designed for the investigation of the electric properties and other related physical characteristics of the atmosphere of Titan, from an altitude around 140 km down to the surface. PWA carried sensors to measure the atmospheric conductivity, and record electromagnetic and acoustic waves up…

Vertical pressure profile of Titan—observations of the PPI/HASI instrument

Harri, Ari-Matti; Mäkinen, Teemu; Siili, Tero +2 more

The Huygens entry probe descended through the atmosphere of Titan and provided an excellent set of observations of the atmosphere and the surface of Titan. During the 150-min descent the Huygens Atmospheric Structure Instrument (HASI) observed a comprehensive set of variables, including pressure, temperature, density and atmospheric electricity. T…
