Scientific paper

Using data from the 1979 Voyager flybys of Jupiter and two sets of ground-based observations of the Io torus, this paper presents an extensive analysis concerning the nature of the second magnetospheric periodicity of the Jupiter's magnetic field, along with a definition of a new Jovian matching coordinate system (referred to as system IV). It is shown that available independent data sets covering a time interval of 4 years, which either drift or show no particular organization in system III, fit mutually consistent patterns in system IV. Provisional values are derived for a transformation between systems III and IV. It is emphasized that system IV needs to be tested against additional data before its durability is assured.
