Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

A general concept of Jovian decametric radiation is proposed that allows various approaches to the problem of the origin of this radiation to be coordinated. The concept is used to explain the origin of such fine-structure characteristics of the dynamic spectrum as frequency splitting of the high-frequency part of the spectrum and the shape of the spectral arcs. The plasma density and velocity of radiating electrons in the force tube of the planet's magnetic field near the L-shells corresponding to Io.
