BRUNO DE BATZ DE TRENQUELLEON
Description
On Titan, methane is at the origin of all characteristics of the climate and the prebiotic chemistry that take place there. Methane and minor gases from photochemistry, produce clouds and precipitation that sculpt the satellite's landscape. Despite the many observations made by Cassini and Huygens, we still have a limited understanding of the couplings between the different cycles taking place on Titan. We propose to use a new microphysical model of cloud, implemented in the Titan Planetary Climate Model to study the methane cycle, its sources, sinks and related processes including clouds and rains.
