| Description | The objective of the proposal was to construct global magnetospheric models of Jupiter for the use of Jovian magnetospheric community. In the four years of the grant period we were able to achieve all of the stated science objectives. The work has resulted in: 1) A new structural model of Jovian current sheet; 2) Global thickness map of the current sheet; 3) Magnetic field models of the current sheet; 4) The global model of Jupiter's magnetospheric field including hinging and delay of the current sheet, sweepback of the magnetic field and the shielding field of the magnetopause. To accomplish our work, we assembled an exhaustive magnetic field data base from all of the spacecraft that have visited Jupiter (Pioneers 10 and 11, Voyagers 1 and 2, Ulysses and Galileo). The data were rotated into system III and JSM coordinates. We used the data at resolutions of 1 minute (for studies of the structure of the current sheet) and 10 minutes (for building the global model). |
