Scientific paper

We observed Titan emerge from Saturn's shadow several times during the 1995 Saturn ring-plane-crossing season. Spectra taken during these events can be assigned to spatially-resolved swatches on Titan's sub-Saturn hemisphere. Spectra from Titan's limb result from photons reflected from layers several hundred of kilometers higher than photons reflected from Titan's disk center. Methane's absorption coefficients become a factor in separating atmospheric layers at wavelengths longer than 0.7 or 0.8 mu m. The comparison of limb v. disk center spectra let us solve for methane abundances and haze optical depths at various altitudes.
