Saturn's Great Storm of 2010 Archives

Water line area maps expressed in units of µmˆ% of continuum. The four observation time windows are July 2011 at 67.09 µm, February 2012 at 66.44 and 67.09 µm, July-August 2012 at 66.44 and 67.09 µm, and January-February 2013 at 66.44 and 67.09 µm. Saturn’s 1-bar level is represented by the black ellipse, with the north pole facing upwards. A selection of iso-latitudes are plotted with grey lines. The rotation axis corresponds to the thin dashed black line. The beam spatial extent is illustrated by the circle in a dashed blue line. The black dots correspond to the central position of the spatial pixels. The position and extension of the beacon (see Table 3) at mid-observation time is represented with the thick dashed black lines. A cubic interpolation was applied to the data. -- astro-ph.EP

Water vapour is delivered to Saturn’s stratosphere by Enceladus’ plumes and subsequent diffusion in the planet system. It is expected to condense into a haze in the middle stratosphere.
