Science Case 1: Titan Ion Chemistry

Problem description

  1. CASSINI/INMS observations of Titan upper atmosphere indicate the presence of ion and molecules which were not expected:
  2. Coupling of a complex chemistry model with even 1D transport model is difficult: it is essential to identify key reactions to mimic the composition of Titan ionosphere. Studies of sensitivity are the methods to do so. We need to integrate reaction rates... and their measurement uncertainties.
