Geographic Control of Titan's Mid-Latitude Clouds, Science
 









Excerpts: Observations of Titan's mid-latitude clouds from the W. M. Keck and
Gemini Observatories show that they cluster near 350¢XW longitude, 40¢XS
latitude. These clouds cannot be explained by a seasonal shift in global
circulation and thus presumably reflect a mechanism on Titan such as geysering
or cryovolcanism in this region. The rate of volatile release necessary to
trigger cloud formation could easily supply enough methane to balance the loss
to photolysis in the upper atmosphere.
