Analyses of Voyager 1 infrared data which allowed the retrieval of temperature profiles and precise mean abundances of the minor constituents in Titan's atmosphere are discussed. Latitudinal variations in temperature were derived and variabilities in the composition of Titan's stratosphere as a function of latitude were discovered for all the trace constituents with the exception of the most abundant gases after CO: C2H2, C2H6 and C3H8. These variabilities are discussed. The enrichment of northern latitude in some molecules with respect to southern latitudes can account for the temperature field asymmetry observed in the situation of radiative atmospheric equilibrium. A tentative explanation for the enhancement of some nitriles based on seasonal effects is discussed, but no model exists to account for the other variations.
