Saturn's polar regions experience strong seasonal insolation changes that affect temperatures above the 2 bar altitude level.
“Because of Saturn's rotation axis tilt of 26.7º, the planet is subject to strong seasonal insolation changes along its year of 29.475 Earth's years ( Pérez-Hoyos and SánchezLavega , 2006b), with long alternating periods of light and darkness that affect temperatures above the 2 bar altitude level ( Bézard et al., 1984; Sánchez Lavega et al., 1997; Fletcher et al. , 2010”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
