Scientific paper

November 2003 through March 2004 is the interval during which Ulysses encounters Jupiter for the second time. The spacecraft remains outside the Jovian magnetosphere at distances in excess of several thousand Jupiter radii. Nevertheless, the Ulysses observations are of interest because they provide an opportunity to study various emissions from Jupiter, including energetic particles, radio signals, dust and neutral atoms, over a wide range of Jovigraphic latitudes and local times. In addition, the observations identify the arrival at Jupiter of large -scale solar wind structures such as compression and rarefactions regions and the Heliospheric Current Sheet (HCS) which are of interest to the in-situ and any remote-sensing observations of Jupiter. The Ulysses magnetic field and solar wind measurements play a key role in identifying these structures throughout the encounter interval. The polarity and direction of the magnetic field allow testing of its effect on the escape of relativistic electrons, dust and other emissions from Jupiter's magnetosphere and their subsequent propagation in the solar wind. The data also contain information about solar wind shocks, waves, discontinuities, the HCS, etc. near 5AU and, in particular, those features impacting the Jovian magnetosphere.
