Clouds and hazes in Saturn's troposphere and stratosphere by Merlet, CTC

“…Near-infared VIMS data between 4.5 and 5.1 <em>μ</em>m are mainly sensitive to deeper tropospheric levels down to approximately 5 bar. At such pressure levels, thermochemical models predict the formation of condensed clouds made of ammonia and ammonium hydrosulphide ices, although none of these species has been spectrally detected so far. …”
