Extract

During the past twelve years five series of observations have been made of the polarization of Jupiter’s radio emission at a wavelength of 11 cm. This data shows characteristics which have been stable over a period of years as well as some unexplained variations. The observations were made during one complete orbital period of Jupiter and hence were obtained over the full range of values of DE, the angle between Jupiter’s rotational axis and the plane of the sky. These are summarized in Table 1. The 1967 observations have been reported previously (Komesaroff and McCulloch 1967) and the 1963 data is from Roberts and Komesaroff (1965).
