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.

The T28 Swath has two different types of dune fields in relatively close proximity captured in the same swath, with the same look angle, and I suppose about the same resolution.



I rotated the T28 mid-latitude dunes and stuck them against the T28 equatorial dunes for better comparison. The orientation vectors are almost identical (taking into account the bend due to the brightland).



There are approximately 5 dark equatorial dune lines in 10 km across-dune distance. For the mid-latitude bright dunes, there appears to be more dunes in the same amount of space.

Is this due to local sand budget? Or a different type of material/construction?
