Well, what are the best models for Hadley cell formation on Titan, under current seasonal conditions? Perhaps the streak over Xanadu defines the northernmost edge of a cell which converges with other cells at the south pole?
I would expect to see clouds forming at the peripheries of such circulation cells -- perhaps this is what is happening on Titan. -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
