Mean molecular weight and hydrogen abundance of Titan's atmosphere

Nature volume 292, pages 688–693 (1981)Cite this article

Abstract

The 200–600 cm−1 continuum opacity in the troposphere and lower stratosphere of Titan is inferred from thermal emission spectra from the Voyager 1 IR spectrometer (IRIS). The surface temperature and mean molecular weight are 94 K < TG < 97K and 28.3∼0.2±0.1 km amagat.
