Abstract

Recent studies of wideband plasma wave data from Voyagers 1 and 2 have revealed the existence of narrowband radio emissions escaping from Jupiter's magnetosphere in the frequency range 1–12 kHz. These narrowband emissions are very similar to narrowband emissions previously discovered near Earth and Saturn, and are believed to be produced by mode conversion from locally generated upper hybrid resonance waves at odd half-integral harmonics of the electron cyclotron frequency. This mode conversion process is believed to be one of the basic mechanisms for generating planetary radio emissions.
