Seasonal and interannual variability in Saturn's stratosphere

Abstract:

The stratosphere of Saturn is highly variable. With an axial tilt of 26.7°, Saturn experiences seasons like Earth and is currently approaching northern summer solstice in 2017. In addition to general seasonal change, previous studies have highlighted that Saturn's stratosphere is host to a range of dynamical phenomena. These processes have an observable effect on the vertical temperature profile and stratospheric concentrations of acetylene (C2H2) and ethane (C2<...>
