Titan's surface albedo variations over a Titan season from near-infrared CFHT/FTS spectra

International audience; We have observed Titan in a series of campaigns from 1991 to 1996 with the Fourier Transform Spectrometer on the CFH telescope. The data acquired provide a lightcurve from the geometric albedos in the 0.9–View the MathML source spectral region. The 1991–1993 data were previously analyzed in Coustenis et al. [1995. Titan's surface: composition and variability from its near-infrared albedo. Icarus 118, 87–104] with a spherical particle code by McKay et al. [1989. The thermal structure of Titan's atmosphere. Icarus 80, 23–53]. We present here three new datasets from the 1994, 1995 and 1996 observations, with additional information from the 0.94-μm methane window on Tita…
