INMS-derived composition of Titan's upper atmosphere: Analysis methods and model comparison
TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of the data observed by INMS during these encounters was presented to derive the neutral composition of Titan's upper atmosphere between 1000 and 1100 km. Analysis methods were described for the determination and correction of instrument effects as well as the composition derivation processes.
