Scientific paper
Atmospheric chemistry analyses of Saturn based on Voyager 1 infrared spectral and radiometric data are presented, including characteristics of the planet's rings and of Titan and other satellites. Infrared spectra of Saturn indicate the presence of H2, CH4, NH3, PH3, C2H2, and C2H6, with the possibility of C3H4 and C3H8. The atmospheric thermal structure of the planet shows hemispheric asymmetries that are consistent with seasonally varying insolation response, with an extensive small-scale latitudinal structure. Atmospheric chemistries of Titan, and optical and thermal characteristics for the rings of Saturn, are also given.
