Spectral determination of the colour and vertical structure of dark spots in Neptune's atmosphere

Patrick G. J. Irwin, Jack Dobinson, Arjuna James. Michael H. Wong +12

Previous observations of dark vortices in Neptune's atmosphere, such as Voyager-2's Great Dark Spot, have been made in only a few, broad-wavelength channels, which has hampered eff…

Evolution of Saturn's north polar color and cloud structure between 2012 and 2017 inferred from Cassini VIMS and ISS observations

L. A. Sromovsky, K. H. Baines, P. M. Fry

Cassini/ISS imagery and Cassini/VIMS spectral imaging observations from 0.35 to 5.12 microns show that between 2012 and 2017 the region poleward of the Saturn's northern hexagon ch…

Interpretation of shadows and antishadows on Saturn and the evidence against south polar eyewalls

Lawrence A. Sromovsky, Patrick M. Fry, Kevin H. Baines

Cassini spacecraft observations of Saturn in 2006 revealed south polar cloud shadows, the common interpretation of which was initiated by Dyudina et al. (2008, Science 319, 1801) w…

Saturn's south polar cloud composition and structure inferred from 2006 Cassini/VIMS spectra and ISS images

Lawrence A. Sromovsky, Kevin H. Baines, Patrick M. Fry

We used 0.85 - 5.1 micron 2006 observations by Cassini's Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) to constrain the unusual vertical structure and compositions of cloud layer…
