The latest PDS release for Cassini is now online at http://pds-imaging.jpl.nasa.gov/data/cassi...assini_orbiter/

I've posted the RADAR swaths from T48 and T49 at http://pirlwww.lpl.arizona.edu/~perry/RADAR/ . These swaths include observations of the ISS playa, Tui Regio (yep, it does look a lot like Hotei Regio), Shikoku Facula, Belet, and the southern mid-latitudes.

One image I want to highlight is from one of the T48 swaths. It covers northern Shikoku Facula. You can see a river channel running from a playa in the center of northern Shikoku east out to the margin between the Shangri-la dune fields and Shikoku. Very cool stuff.

From the T28 north polar swath an extensive river system is seen near 255W and 75N (see below). One SARTopo strip runs along the river and is shown in place on the map. The river runs approximately 375 km and from its upper tributaries to its lowest reaches there is a drop of around 500 m. This gives an overall gradient of 500 m/375km or 1.33 m per km or around 5 feet per mile, not much different from many terrestrial streams!
