Scientific paper

It is noted that the electron concentration data from Pioneer 10 and 11 and Voyager 1 and 2 indicate the presence of an equatorial anomaly in the Jovian ionosphere, with the peak electron concentration value showing a minimum near the equator. Electron concentration measurements of Jupiter are presented. Also included is a latitudinal plot of electron concentration at heights of 2000 km and 3000 km in the Jovian atmosphere. It is noted that the Voyager 1 measurement at 1 deg N, 314 deg W corresponds to a location very near the charged particle (and thus magnetic) equator, thereby corroborating the Fountain Effect theory for the occurrence of an equatorial anomaly in the Jovian atmosphere.
