The atomic carbon emission CI line at 1657 Å (3PoJ -> 3PJ) in the upper atmosphere of Titan is first identified from the airglow spectra obtained by the Cassini Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer (UVIS). A one-dimensional photochemical model of Titan is used to study the photochemistry of atomic carbon on Titan. Reaction between CH and atomic hydrogen is the major source of atomic carbon and reactions with hydrocarbons (C2H2 and C2H4) are the most important loss processes. Resonance scattering of sunlight by atomic carbon is the dominant emission mechanism and the calculated emission intensity shows good agreement with the observations.
