The history of Jupiter's planetary magnetic field is of great interest, in particular, because it represents the first opportunity to observe secular variations of a planetary dynamo other than the earth's. Indirect observations of the Jovian magnetic field began with the discovery of nonthermal radio emissions by Burke and Franklin (1955). In situ observations of the Jovian planetary magnetic field are limited to the Pioneer 10 and 11 flybys at epochs 1973.9 and 1974.9 and the Voyager 1 and 2 flyby encounters at epochs 1979.2 and 1979.5. Jovian magnetic field models are presented in a table, and a graph is provided in which the secular decrease of the earth's main dipole term is compared with estimates of Jupiter's main dipole term. The in situ magnetic field observations are consistent with no secular variation of the jovimagnetic dipole field from 1974.9 to 1979.2.
