Jovian Space Weather in the Juno Era: Remote Observations
Abstract
Jupiter is a large and rapidly rotating planet with a strong magnetic field, its magnetospheric dynamics only minimally influenced by the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). Yet, there are a number of manifestations of the Jovian magnetospheric interaction with elements of the solar wind and IMF. Variations in Jovian radio emissions are a prime example (Reiner et al. 2000, Zarka et al. 2004, Bose et al. 2008, Panchenko et al. 2012), as are auroral variations monitored in the infrared and ultraviolet.We present a review of the many journal papers that have examined the relationship between solar wind and IMF conditions (at the Jovian magnetosphere) and the Jovian radio burst variations and other associated phenomena.We present recent results from the joint observations by STEREO WAVES and WIND WAVES of Jovian radio emissions in the band of 1 - 15 MHz. The goal is to add a remote radio observation component to the determination of Jovian space weather, of particular use for data analysis by spacecraft orbiting the planet within the magnetosphere.
