Scientific paper

The Cassini RADAR instrument made a dedicated cloud backscatter observation near Titan's north pole, presently in winter darkness, to constrain the precipitation of material onto the surface. The detection limit is ˜5 orders of magnitude above that expected in methane rainstorms, and rules out ‘drizzle’ of more than ˜10cm/yr, placing constraints on the winter accumulation of material on Titan's surface during polar winter.
