We report Cassini/CIRS far-infrared limb observations of Titan acquired in September 2006. These data were recorded at latitude 14S, close in location to the Huygens descent coordinates. We have developed a thermal infrared spherical geometry radiative transfer model to interpret the limb spectra. A robust maximum likelihood routine, based on the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm, was employed to constrain the shape of Titan's intensity vertical profiles as a function of wavenumber. Aerosol altitude profiles and the wavenumber dependence between 20 and 580 1/cm will be presented.
