A similar conclusion was reached in the case of the “Kissing Lakes” (PIA08740).
Lighter patches in one of the lakes were considered as an indication that this lake is shallower, with radar signals penetrating through the liquid and reflecting off the lakebed. http://www.newscientistspace.com/article.n...line-news_rss20 |

Very nice drawing Thorsten! Mind if I pass this along to our local Titan group?
The RADAR team is interpreting variations within the lakes to indicate that they are sensing the lake bottoms in some places. This would indicate that these lakes are quite shallow, maybe on the order of a few 10s of meters. -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!

QUOTE (volcanopele @ Oct 13 2006, 05:06 PM)  Mind if I pass this along to our local Titan group? I would be honored, volcanopele! (Sorry for the late reply)! Below are two drawings, inspired by the radar image “Titans Great Lakes (PIA01942)”. The one to the left deals with the idea that the long dark channel at the left of PIA01942 is surrounded by extensive flood plains. The second one shows the bright landforms at the top protruding into the “lake” that could be the eroded hilltops of flooded landforms. (As the speech balloons indicate I am working in my free time on a little comic strip in which Titan plays a small but significant role.)
