Scientific paper

The Cassini spacecraft reached Titan slightly after the summer solstice in the southern hemisphere. During its four year prime mission, Cassini conducted 45 flybys of Titan (ending on July 31, 2008), collecting data as the southern hemisphere transitioned from summer to fall. Using the Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer's (VIMS) capability of observing different wavelengths, and therefore different layers of Titan's methane-rich atmosphere, we isolated and imaged methane clouds present in Titan's troposphere. We present maps of each flyby detailing the longitude and latitude locations and sizes of every cloud surveyed as well as their significance towards Titan's seasonal alterations.
