The problem of the ionospheric formation in the Jovian upper atmosphere is examined. By adopting two plausible atmospheric models, we solve coupled time-dependent continuity equations for ions H2+, H5+, H+, H3+ and HeH+ simultaneously. It is shown that both radiative and three body association of H+ to H2 are important for the determination of the structure of the Jovian ionosphere. The maximum electron density in the daytime is found to be about 105 cm-3. It is also shown that diurnal variation with large-amplitude can exist in the Jovian ionosphere.
