Abstract

DURING an observational programme in support of a study of the linear polarisation properties of Jupiter's decimetric radio emission, it was noted that the planet's total intensity had increased between late summer 1973 and July 1974. The increase is small (∼5%) but it seems to be a significant change in the trend of the past decade, during which time Jupiter's decimetric emission has decreased by 20–30% (refs 1–3) with respect to the flux densities observed before 1967.
