Changes to Saturn's Zonal-mean Tropospheric Thermal Structure after the 2010-2011 Northern Hemisphere Storm

Fletcher, L. N.; Flasar, F. M.; Achterberg, R. K. +4 more

We use far-infrared (20-200 µm) data from the Composite Infrared Spectrometer on the Cassini spacecraft to determine the zonal-mean temperature and hydrogen para-fraction in Saturn's upper troposphere from observations taken before and after the large northern hemisphere storm in 2010-2011. During the storm, zonal mean temperatures in the la…
