Scientific paper

Several models of Jovian plasma sheet structure are studied, focusing on the ways in which they organize aspects of the observed Voyager 2 magnetic field characteristics as a function of radial distance from Jupiter. A technique which locates the interfaces between the plasma sheet and the lobes from magnetic data is presented. This boundary location is used to test models of the magnetotail. Improved variations of the hinged-magnetodisk and the magnetic anomaly models are given in which the parameters are optimized by using structural information from observed magnetic equator and plasma-sheet-lobe boundary crossings.
