- •
We developed a forward radiative transfer model to describe Saturn's atmosphere.
- •
We developed an inversion algorithm to retrieve clouds properties from VIMS-V data.
- •
We verified that no NH3 ice cloud is needed to reproduce the vortex spectra.
- •
We propose a spectral modification of the tropospheric haze refractive index.
- •
We infer that the atmospheric dynamics in the vortex region is weakening.
