Abstract
⺠Passive and active data from the Cassini RADAR are examined for their implications on the radar-bright regions of Titan. ⺠Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation and the assumption of a generic low-loss scattering subsurface is the basis for a combined emission-backscatter (CEB) model developed for this purpose. ⺠Some of the regions are too bright to be explained by this model. ⺠We conclude that organized structure on or in the surface is present that enhances the backscatter.
