Center to limb scans of the Saturnian equator at 20 micronsSpatially resolved area scans of the equator of Saturn through filters at 17.8, 19.7, and 22.9 microns are used to evaluate proposed model atmospheres from the literature. The present observations demonstrate that the equatorial thermal structure has not changed measurably in the last three years.
