Scientists at the French National Centre for Scientific Research in
Paris have published findings in Nature Geoscience that has challenged
assumptions about the moon Titan, one of Saturn’s sixty moons and a
focus of scientists because of the presence of an atmosphere and
potential for life. Benjamin Charnay and Sébastien Lebonnois created a
computer model that simulates the atmosphere on Titan and the model
yielded some interesting results showing that the moon has two different
boundary layers and the lower produces methane clouds, dune movement on
the surface and wind patterns.
