Saturn's spectrum contains a low-opacity window allowing us to study the atmosphere beneath the tropospheric hazes. Upwelling dredges ammonia, aerosols and phosphine to high altitudes at Saturn's equator. Strong extra-tropical upwelling and storms occur in broad regions near jets at 41°N and 25°S. Saturn's upper tropospheric hazes vary seasonally, whereas deep clouds are more uniform. Gases and clouds measured at 5 μm can be used to trace the circulation of Saturn's deep atmosphere.
