Scientific paper

The Cassini Radar instrument includes a passive microwave radiometer operating at 13.78 GHz (~ 2.2 cm wavelength). An objective for the radiometer is the global mapping of the temperature and dielectric constant of Titan's surface, to be achieved using raster scans to measure the polarized thermal emission from Titan's disk on selected inbound and outbound passes. Results will be presented from the first such mapping of Titan, to be obtained during the initial Titan pass on 26 August, 2004 and initial interpretations made with regard to composition and temperature distribution. This work was carried out at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, under a contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
