A constraint on the distribution of Titan's atmospheric aerosol
Abstract
The physics of aerosols in Titan's atmosphere is examined, and a simple relatioshi particle size, optical depth, and aerosol replacement rate is derived. The consequences for current models of Titan's aerosol distribution are discussed.
