The detailed observation of Jovian decimetric radiation (DIM) from relativistic electrons in the Jovian radiation belt has been carried out using the Kashima 34-m antenna to seek the existence of its short-term variation. In the observation, the terrestrial atmospheric extinction effect was corrected using the sky-tipping method. Moreover, the background confusion, which was the serious problem of the past observations, was also evaluated. As a result, the DIM flux enhancement having lasting a few days in November 1996 was identified. The data also showed the changes of the magnetic latitude beaming curves during the flux enhancement. These results showed that the relativistic electrons in the Jovian radiation belt, which had been thought to be stable, have short-term variations.
