Abstract
Gathering reliable information about the topographic context greatly enhances the readability and interpretation of Cassini synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data, and allows for a better understanding of the overall Titan satellite. The Cassini Titan Radar Mapper has observed several morphological structures, such as dunes, lakes, craters and river-like channels [1]. In addition, regions exhibiting relatively high topography, referred to as mountains, have been discovered and analyzed [2]. Since the beginning of the mission in 2004, different methods have been developed to retrieve Titan's topography using Cassini RADAR, e.g., SARtopo, altimetry, stereophotogrammetry [1] - [5]. An updated complete topographic map of Titan' surface obtained by combining and interpolating all the available data has been recently presented in [4].I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
