Extract

In this paper, two models for the origin of modulation lanes in Jovian radiation are discussed. The results of calculations of dynamic spectra due to the Cotton-Mouton effect in Jupiter’s plasma envelope and due to modulation of the frequency spectrum in the source are reproduced. The characteristics of the theoretical spectra are then described. This offers the possibility of solving the problem of modulation lanes by comparison of observed Jovian dynamic spectra with the theoretical ones.
