On the altitudinal level dependence of aerosol volume scattering coefficient in the Saturn’s atmosphere. I. Integral disk

Abstract

Î. Ñ. ÎÂÑÀÊ and 430 mbar and an in ter me di ate peak of about 1.0 bar. In the pres sure range 2.2...8.0 bar, there is an ex tended aero sol layer with a scat ter ing max i mum de ter mined in the pres sure range of 3.8-4.8 bar, de pend ing on the an a lyzed meth ane ab sorp tion band. The re vealed sig nif i cant dis per sion dif fer ences in the combined dependence of the volumetric aerosol scattering coefficient indicate a probable change in the radius and / or nature of aerosol particles in the deep levels of Saturn's atmosphere.
