Scientific paper

We present a study of the seasonal variations of hydrocarbons in the stratosphere of Saturn. Meridional variations of the abundances of hydrocarbons such as acetylene (C2H2) and ethane (C2H6) have previously been determined, in particular using observations from the Cassini/CIRS (Composite Infrared Spectrometer) instrument. Such studies have used Cassini data obtained during the prime mission (2004 - 2008) therefore studying Saturn from shortly after summer solstice to 'autumn' in the Southern Hemisphere. With the occurence of the vernal equinox in August 2009, Saturn's northern hemisphere is now approaching summer solstice. We aim to determine the response of the hydrocarbon photochemistry as a result of seasonal changes.
