Scientific paper

The occultation of the bright K giant star 28 Sgr by Titan was observed from three stations in the Mediterranean area, and the resulting data set is examined here. Average mesospheric temperatures of about 180 K are derived, with evidence for lateral and vertical atmospheric inhomogeneities on scales ranging from about 10-1000 km. The results are consistent with published models of Titan's atmosphere.
