Abstract
⺠Titan's dune field morphometry is correlated to altitude and latitude. ⺠Dune to interdune ratio and/or interdune sand cover thickness decrease with these parameters. ⺠The altitudinal trend is probably caused by the waning of the sand supply toward elevated regions. ⺠The latitudinal trend could result from a gradual increase in dampness with latitude.
