The current lack of evidence for surface waves in Titan's polar regions is intriguing given the predominance of aeolian features in equatorial latitudes. This apparent discrepancy may be the result of observational bias in timing or location. If not, it may be caused by differences between the conditions required for wave generation on Titan and Earth. The process of initial wave generation on Titan was discussed by Lorenz et al. (2010). We extend the work of Lorenz et al. (2010) by investigating the effects surface tension (T), density ( ), kinematic viscosity ( ), and gravity (g). In addition, we compare models of Bragg backscatter for water and liquid hydrocarbon and compare threshold friction velocities (u?), which are related to wind stress ( = airu2 ?), to GCM predictions.
