Scientific paper

A simple model is presented for the formation and growth of photochemical aerosols in the atmosphere of Titan. It is shown that in general, an optically thick layer of particles in the size range required by models of Titan cannot be obtained at pressures less than about 2 mbar. Since the thin model of Titan's atmosphere requires that the inversion not extend below pressures of 0.11 mbar (Hunten and Caldwell, 1978), it seems to be ruled out by the calculations.
