Mission description now up (new abbreviated format?): http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/files/T-75_508_v41.pdf

A more complete description of images (RGB composite + some near looks at Adiri - did the recent storm wash away any surface coatings?) on the CICLOPS Looking Ahead summary: http://www.ciclops.org/view/6763/Rev147

Excellent points Mike and Nigel ! Gets one thinking of what other correlations may exit. Interesting how Adiri was next in the path of the Arrow storm that inundated (blue outline) southern Belet (shown below, left image). The equatorial cloud pattern on images taken October 18th suggests storm continued its eastern march into Adiri encountering an upslope gradient. SAR topo measurements suggest a gain of 700 meters and Adiri bright spots tend to appear on the up-sloping terrain of the ridges. Using some of the cool maps in the text book "Titan from Cassini-Huygens" in the appendix there appears to be less correlation of the bright spots with RADAR backscatter values (surface roughness or reflective surfaces), surface brightness temperature (microwave thermal emissivity) or VIMS spectral units (the last shown in the figure below). With differing resolutions of these maps however the validity of the correlations is debatable.
EDIT: Sorry, but I just realized the Huygen's landing site was on the map and just had to put it in there (red + sign on the right).

I do believe Huygens may have gotten a good methane bath last September-October !!
