Seasonal evolution of Saturn's polar temperatures and composition

Abstract:: The seasonal evolution of Saturn's polar atmospheric temperatures and hydrocarbon composition is derived from a decade of Cassini Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) 7-16μm thermal infrared spectroscopy. We construct a near-continuous record of atmospheric variability poleward of 60° from northern winter/southern summer (2004, Ls=293°) through the equinox (2009, Ls=0°) to northern spring/southern autumn (2014, Ls=56°). The hot tropospheric polar cyclones that are entrained by prograde jets...
