Scientific paper

Observed profiles of the R branch of Saturn's CH4 3 nu (3) band are compared with synthetic profiles computed from inhomogeneous models which are consistent with Saturn's H2 quadrupole-line equivalent widths. A C/H ratio approximately three times the solar value and a CH4 abundance of about 100 m am are found. Scattering plays a significant role in the formation of manifold profiles below a depth where the H2 abundance is 20-30 km am.
