Scientific paper

Limiting profiles for the equatorial thermal structure of Titan in the 0-200 km altitude range are presently obtained by reanalyzing Voyager 1 radio-occultation refractivity profiles, taking mean molecular weight uncertainties into account. Spectra calculated from the IR thermal profiles in the CH4 nu(4) band at 7.7 microns are compared with Voyager IRIS observations in order to constrain both the abundances of major atmospheric components and the stratospheric temperatures. A nominal temperature and composition profile of Titan's atmosphere is given in the form of tabulated values between ground level and 200 km.
