ALMA CO(3-2) observations with MCMC retrievals show latitudinal temperature trends on Neptune, including a cold southern polar layer at 300-600 mbar, consistent with Voyager at 10-100 mbar but new at deeper levels.

Radio occultations cannot separate Uranus or Neptune's internal spin from wind contributions to atmospheric shape, as the total rotation is already tightly constrained, though they can test wind assumptions and detect north-south asymmetries.

Can radio occultations constrain Uranus or Neptune's internal rotation periods?
