The present reanalysis of Titan surface temperature and atmospheric composition values derived from a reanalysis of Voyager 1 data establishes that, depending on atmospheric parameters, drastic variations are obtained for primary oceanic features. If the surface temperature is 92.5 K, and surface pressures are of the order of 1.5 atm, a 1.55-percent lower tropospheric CH4 fraction indicates an ocean which is more than 90 percent ethane. At 101 K and the same surface pressure, but 17-percent Ar and 21.1-percent CH4 content, the ocean is composed of over 83 percent CH4. Precipitate solubilities and thicknesses are presented for several minor oceanic components.
