Abstract:Titan, the giant moon of the planet Saturn, is recognized to have
meteorological processes involving liquid methane that are analogous to
the water generated atmospheric dynamics of planet Earth. We propose
here that the climatic features of Titan by contrast are more akin to
those of the planet Venus, and that this structural similarity is a
direct result of the slow daily rotation rate of these two terrestrial
bodies. We present here a simple mathematical climate model based on
meteorological principles, and… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
