Abstract
⺠The impact of topography on Titan's atmospheric angular momentum is investigated. ⺠The mountain torque consists of a diurnal and semi-annual component. ⺠The mountain torque is mainly caused by equatorial mountains hit by easterlies. ⺠Mountain torque causes a net transfer of angular momentum into the atmosphere. ⺠The atmospheric angular momentum is larger if topography is present.
