Saturn's south polar vortex compared to other large vortices in the solar system (2009)

Dyudina, Ulyana A., Ingersoll, Andrew P., Ewald, Shawn P., Vasavada, Ashwin R., West, Robert A., Baines, Kevin H., ...

Observations made by the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS), Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) and the long-wavelength Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) aboard the Cassini spacecraft...

Strong jet and a new thermal wave in Saturn's equatorial stratosphere (2008)

Liming, Li, Gierasch, Peter J., Achterberg, Richard K., Conrath, Barney J., Flasar, F. Michael, Vasavada, Ashwin R., ...

The strong jet, with a speed between 500 and 600 m/s, is inferred in the equatorial region of Saturn by combining the nadir and limb observations of Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) aboard the...

Determination of the minimum masses of heavy elements in the envelopes of Jupiter and Saturn (2008)

Mousis, Olivier, Marboeuf, Ulysse, Lunine, Jonathan I., Alibert, Yann, Fletcher, Leigh N., Orton, Glenn S., ...

We calculate the minimum mass of heavy elements required in the envelopes of Jupiter and Saturn to match the observed oversolar abundances of volatiles. Because the clathration efficiency remains...
