Abstract

Dynamic spectra of Jupiter's S-bursts are observed with sweep-frequency and multi-channel receivers operating at frequency ranges 21–30 and 20.85–23.20 MHz, respectively. Spectra obtained with time resolutions of 0.2, 0.02, and 0.004 s are compared, the frequency resolution being 50 kHz. The most normal appearance of S-bursts is in trains with a frequency range of the order of 1 MHz. Narrow-band Strains also occur. Narrow-band L-emissions in region B are often associated with S-bursts, obviously in the manner described by Flagget al. (1976). Synoptic spectral observations indicate that region B for S-bursts exhibits a drift in longitude similar to that for L-bursts. The Io phase profile for S-bursts has a maximum in the vicinity of 80° in region B and 230° in region C. S-bursts observed in 1976 have higher drift rates than those compiled by Krauscheet al. (1976). Region C bursts have simpler spectra and lower drift rates than region B bursts.
