土星的卫星土卫六展示了一个活跃的天气周期，涉及甲烷。一项用大气环流模型对云层观测和模拟的分析表明，土卫六大气中的对流是通过两种波模式的相互作用组织起来的，导致当地降水率高达平均水平的20倍。
Saturn’s moon Titan exhibits an active weather cycle that involves methane. An analysis of cloud observations and simulations with a general circulation model reveals that convection in Titan’s atmosphere is organized through an interplay of two wave modes, leading to local rates of precipitation of up to twenty times the average.
