Scientific paper

Using the clathrate hydrates trapping theory, we calculate the enrichments in volatiles in the atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn from the thermodynamical evolution of the solar nebula, in a way consistent with recent models of giant planets formation (Alibert et al. 2005a). We also discuss the influence of the recent Cassini measurement of carbon abundance in Saturn (Flasar et al. 2005) on the amount of heavy elements required in the giant planet.
