Scientific paper

The details of positive ion measurements made in the inner magnetosphere are discussed. Attention is also given to an analysis of these measurements to obtain plasma composition, flow speeds, and temperatures and to the assumptions made in the analysis. These results for the positive ions are then combined with the direct measurements of plasma electrons between 5.7 and 9 Jupiter radii and with a theoretical distribution of plasma along dipolar magnetic field lines to build a two-dimensional model of the plasma torus.
