An extension of the seasonal climate model of R. D. Cess et al. (1979) to Saturn's upper troposphere is presented. The ring-modulated latitudinal dependence of the insolation, the ring thermal emission, the oblateness of the planet, the orbit eccentricity, and the latitudinal variation of the internal heat flux are taken into account. Calculations agree closely with the temperature-latitude profiles retrieved from Voyager IRIS measurements at atmospheric levels located above the 0.2-bar pressure level. The model fails to predict the retrieved temperature-latitude profiles below the 0.3-bar level. The poor correlation between infrared measurements and visible images is discussed and a possible model of Saturn's cloud structure is proposed.
