Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

New spectrophotometric CCD-observations of Saturn were performed in 2003 -2004 within the framework of an international effort in support to the Cassini space mission through 2008.A series of Saturn's spectra have been obtained and analyzed.Our purpose is to study current latitudinal variations in molecular absorption bands during the rings-opening maximum and best visibility conditions for observation of the southern hemisphere of Saturn.A comparison with data of previous years shows the presence of seasonal variation connected with changes in the insolation regime on Saturn.
