Seasonal and interannual variability in Saturn's stratosphere
No full textThe stratosphere of Saturn is highly variable. With an axial tilt of 26.7°, Saturn experiences seasons like Earth and is currently approaching northern summer solstice in 2017. In addition to general seasonal change, previous studies have highlighted that Saturn's stratosphere is host to a range of dynamical phenomena. These processes have an observable effect on the vertical temperature profile and stratospheric concentrations of acetylene (C2H2) and ethane (C2H6), which may be determined or retrieved from thermal infrared observations of Saturn. This thesis presents an analysis of observations of Saturn acquired by Voyager's IRIS (Infrared Interferometer Spectrometer, 180 - 2500 cm-1, Hanel et al.,[1980]) instrument in 1980, Cassini's CIRS (Composite Infrared Spectrometer, 10 - 1400 cm-1, Flasar et al.,[2004]) instrument from 2005 to 2012 and the Celeste spectrometer (400 - 2000 cm-1, Moran et al.,[2007]) on NASA's IRTF (Infrared Telescope Facility) in 2012 in order to track seasonal and interannual changes in Saturn's stratosphere. The concentrations of C2H2 and C2H6 were seen to decrease at 15°S and increase at 25°N from 2005 to 2009/2010. These changes at 15°S and 25°N respectively indicate upward and downward branches associated with cross-equatorial seasonally-reversing Hadley circulation that has been predicted by a general circulation model [Friedson and Moses, 2012]. Strong cooling of up to 17 K at high-southern latitudes from 2005 to 2010 suggests an autumnal weakening of a vortex that appears to form at the pole of the summer hemisphere [Fletcher et al., 2008]. The emergence of a similar northern polar vortex as northern summer solstice approaches was yet to be observed in 2012. Interannual differences in the equatorial temperature structure between 1980 and 2009/2010 suggest Saturn's semiannual oscillation (or SSAO, Fouchet et al. [2008]; Orton et al. [2008]) has been captured in a different phase from one year to the next. This is puzzling since the oscillation would be expected to have undergone two cycles assuming its period is half a Saturn year (14.7 years). This contrast is suggestive that the period of the SSAO is more quasisemiannual
