Scientific paper

Preliminary results of numerical modeling of the diurnal variations of Titan's atmosphere are presented. A one dimensional time dependent photochemical model was developed, including 169 updated chemical reactions, photochemical parameters (reaction rates, absorption cross sections, vapor pressures, etc.) and elaborated evaluation of the radiation field. Detailed Monte Carlo calculations, including Rayleigh and Mie scattering, were done. The vertical distribution of 56 species (hydrocarbons, nitriles, oxygen compounds, etc.) is computed between the surface and 1240 km (the duration of the day is assumed to be equal to 16 days at each level of the atmosphere). The results of these simulations are presented and compared to available observations.
