Abstract
⺠We analyze stellar occultations by Titan observed by the Cassini/UVIS instrument. ⺠We derive density and temperature profiles for the upper atmosphere of Titan. ⺠We derive extinction profiles for Titan aerosols near their production region. ⺠We find evidence for the presence of low frequency gravity waves in the atmosphere. ⺠The results are compared with previous Voyager and Cassini measurements.
