That is my key point: The Doppler wind teams said the turbence ended at 60km, but the imaging team says no, the probe was rocking and tap dancing just before landflall. I think they are describing the same event, twenty minutes into the descent, seconds away from landing.
The balance of the Doppler day, recorded from the earth, showed a smooth descent, with a wind in the same direction that Titan was turning, at virtually no wind in the landing zone: All of it, on the ground.
