Scientific paper

Knowledge of the thermal structure and meteorology of Titan are reviewed. Atmospheric temperature determinations, from Voyager radio occultation and infrared spectroscopy measurements, provide the principal observational constraints on the atmospheric dynamic regime. Titan is the second known example, along with Venus, of cyclostrophic zonal wind balance with upper stratospheric winds a factor of 10 greater than the equatorial surface velocity. Possible contributions of the Cassini Mission to understanding of Titan's meteorology are discussed.
