Scientific paper

A model of the electron density irregularities in the Jovian ionosphere is constructed based on a preliminary interpretation of the Pioneer 10 Jovian ionospheric scintillations. The ionospheric irregularities exist over an altitude range of 3000 km. The structure constant cn of refractive index fluctuations is constant throughout this altitude range. The spatial wavenumber spectrum of the electron density irregularities follows the Kolmogorov spectrum and the outer scale size is greater than 6 km. Estimates of scintillation for a Jovian entry probe based on this model indicate that it is small at S-band but could be substantial at 4000 MHz. The temporal frequency spectrum of the log-amplitude fluctuation is less than 1 Hz and is consequently rather narrow.
