Abstract
THE average drift rates of Jupiter's S-bursts observed in the 21–23 MHz frequency range depend on the jovicentric declination of the Earth, DE (ref. 1). The fact that the values obtained by other observers at higher and lower frequencies also seemed to agree with this observation was interpreted as either being coincidental or implying that the drift rates may not depend on frequency. Here I present new drift rate measurements at 21–23 MHz obtained in 1978, bringing the total number of individual measurements in 1974–78 to over 12,000.
