To investigate the details of hydrocarbon photochemistry on Saturn, we have developed a one-dimensional diurnally averaged model that couples hydrocarbon and oxygen photochemistry, molecular and eddy diffusion, radiative transfer, and condensation. The model results are compared with observations fr
the exogenic oxygen must arrive in the form of a carbon-oxygen bonded species such as CO or CO 2 . An influx consistent with the composition of cometary ices fails to reproduce the high observed CO 2 /H 2 O ratio, suggesting that (i) the material has ices that are slightly more carbon-rich than is t
