Some improvements are introduced into the haze model by Krasnopolsky et al. (1992), which describes growth and precipitation of particles formed by methane photolysis. These improvements take into account a possible termination of the Voyager Ultraviolet Spectrometer (UVS) occultation observations by clouds and a more accurate presentation of the surface reflection by a modified Hapke function. All changes are within the uncertainties of the previous model, though not negligible. The particle mean radius and number density for global mean conditions vary from 0.1+/-0.01 μm and 2.4 cm-3 at 30 km to 0.135+/-0.015 μm and 10.4 cm-3 near the surface. The scale height of the volume extinction coefficient in the visible varies from 7 km at h=25 km to 15 km at h=5 km. The vertical optical thickness of haze is equal to (5+/-1)×10-3 at 0.47 μm.
