Infrared scans of Saturn

Scans are presented at five wavelengths between 7.8 and 25 microns north-south along Saturn's central meridian and east-west parallel to the equator through the subearth point. The brightening of Saturn's South Pole at 12.7 microns was more enhanced in 1977 than in 1978 due to the 5 deg gr...
