Abstract
- International audience; With the culmination of 13 years of orbital exploration of Saturn by the Cassini spacecraft, we now have the most comprehensive characterisation of a seasonal giant planet ever obtained. The longevity of Cassini has meant that we can explore atmospheric processes from solstice to solstice using infrared remote sensing, including: the formation and dissipation of stratospheric polar vortices; the evolution of Saturn's equatorial oscillation; and the aftermath of the 2010-11 springtime storm.
