The Atmosphere of Titan in Late Northern Summer from JWST and Keck Observations

Conor A. Nixon, Bruno Bézard, Thomas Cornet +42

Saturn's moon Titan undergoes a long annual cycle of 29.45 Earth years. Titan's northern winter and spring were investigated in detail by the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft (2004-2017)…

The impact of lake shape and size on lake breezes and air-lake exchanges on Titan

Audrey Chatain, Scot C. R. Rafkin, Alejandro Soto +5

Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, has many lakes on its surface, formed mainly of liquid methane. Like water lakes on Earth, these methane lakes on Titan likely profoundly affect…

Sampled Together: Assessing the Value of Simultaneous Co-located Measurements

C. E. Powell, Christopher S. Ruf, Scott Gleason +1

This work applies a quantitative metric well-known to the data assimilation community to a new context in order to capture the relative representativeness of non-simultaneous or no…

Air-sea interactions on Titan: effect of radiative transfer on the lake evaporation and atmospheric circulation

Audrey Chatain, Scot C. R. Rafkin, Alejandro Soto +2

Titan's northern high latitudes host many large hydrocarbon lakes. Like water lakes on Earth, Titan's lakes are constantly subject to evaporation. This process strongly affects the…

Air-Sea Interactions on Titan: Lake Evaporation, Atmospheric Circulation, and Cloud Formation

Scot C. R. Rafkin, Alejandro Soto

Titan's abundant lakes and seas exchange methane vapor and energy with the atmosphere via a process generally known as air-sea interaction. This turbulent exchange process is inves…
