All...

the latest CHARM presentation details the longitudunal dunes on Titan.

http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/prod...HARM_Lorenz.pdf

Slide 4 shows that Titan albedo features are buried in the old Voyager data. Neat.
Slides 11 is a great reprojection of DISR.
Several slides with great Earth SIR-C and CASSINI Titan dune comparisons.
Slide 41 shows a section of T21 with dunes that I do not believe has been released as yet.
Slide 42 dune orientations....
Slide 44 showing calculated paths for Titan balloon probes (data taken fron the dune orientations acting as weather vanes).

Very cool...

Doug.... I was not sure which Titan thread to place this in so I created one. Move it where it makes sense.

Thanks for the link Craig.

That's very interesting stuff. It's fascinating that Voyager 1 did catch a glimpse of Titan's surface markings!
