Scientific paper
The current status of the understanding of the dynamics of Jupiter's magnetosphere is reviewed. A brief summary is presented of the concepts and processes which were identified as being of probable importance by pre-Pioneer 10 and 11 work (both theoretical and observational). The insights provided by the in situ Pioneer flights are then discussed. The Jovian magnetosphere consists of several relatively distinct regions: the inner magnetosphere, the intermediate magnetosphere, the outer magnetosphere, a transition region just inside the magnetopause, and the magnetosheath. The basic particle and magnetic field characteristics of these regions are summarized, and the dynamical processes which are currently thought to be significant in each of them are reviewed. Finally, some outstanding questions and problems are identified for future treatment based on Pioneer data or on data from the upcoming Voyager and Galileo missions.
