Waves on Titan

My thesis research was on the observation of how sunlight reflection from earth's ocean affected the albedo measurements from a satellite. During my studies, I had a discussion with Caitlin, another graduate student from the Earth and Space Sciences Department. I described to her the geometry conditions of the satellite scanner and the sun that were necessary to observe specular reflection from a liquid surface. She was interested in Titan. This article is not written by Caitlin but I was happy to read that these observations were made.
