- •
A limb darkening analysis is performed using Cassini/VIMS data from 2006 (late northern winter).
- •
We find that the 5 µm brightness discrepancy between the hemispheres can be explained by variation in tropospheric haze opacity.
- •
We find that limb darkening spectra can be best fit by a model including non-scattering tropospheric cloud and scattering tropospheric haze.
