The vertical profile of winds on Titan
Article Abstract:
Titan's winds are the subject of many investigations, since Voyager 1 provided evidence for the presence of strong winds, which led to the inclusion of Doppler Wind Experiment on the Huygens probe. The high-resolution vertical profile of Titan's winds revealed that they blow in the same direction in which the moon rotates and that close to the surface the winds were weak, traveling at slow speed.
