Thank you. This is the type of information that is very helpful.
Does anyone know how closely the data have matched the model? Are the predictions of the thickness of the atmosphere near Titan's surface based upon direct observation or computational data extrapolated from the edge of atmosphere?
When the Jupiter probe fell like a rock, it was fairly easy to write this off as an atmospheric effect caused by billowing updrafts and down drafts. The outer atmosphere of Titan looks stratified.
