摘要
The Titan ISO/SWS data were acquired in January and December 1997 in the grating mode with resolving powers between 1000-3000. Their analysis yielded information on the thermal and compositional structure of the satellite's atmosphere on a disk average basis with higher precision than the Voyager data. From a particular observational sequence around 40 mu m, the SWS data allowed the first detection of water vapor in Titan's upper atmosphere.
