Scientific paper

The near-IR has long been used to study the lower atmosphere of Titan; essentially because it is the shortest wavelength region where the atmosphere is reasonably transparent and also because there have been significant recent improvements in instrumentation, both for imaging and spectroscopy. I'll discuss the current state of models used to interpret these types of observations, the limitations therein, and possible improvements. In particular, I'll compare the retrieval of cloud properties at various bandpasses, where the competing uncertainties in aerosol scattering, total optical depth and methane opacity are taken into account. I'll discuss a novel observation of an evolving cloud system and speculate about why it might be relevant to the changing dynamics of the lower atmosphere.
