Abstract
We will present the latest Doppler wind velocity results of Saturn's zonal flow at cloud level. The study of the planet's global system of winds at the 0.7 bar region, promises to improve the characterization of the equatorial jet and the latitudinal variation of the zonal winds, as well the measurement (and monitorization) of its spatial and temporal variability, achieving a better understanding of the dynamics of Saturn's zonal winds. Finally, the complementarity with Cassini, has provided an independent set of observations to compare with and help validate the method. Our Doppler velocimetry technique stands out as a promising ground-based method for wind monitoring in the giant planets.
