Vertical Distribution of Titan’s Atmospheric Neutral Constituents

Authors: L. M. Lara The vertical distribution of Titan’s neutral atmosphere compounds is calculated from a new photochemical model extending from 40 to 1432 km. This model makes use of many updated reaction rates, and of the new scheme for methane photolysis proposed by Mordauntet al. [1993].The model also includes a realistic treatment of the dissociation of N2, of the…
