The jovian hectometric radio emission (HOM) is known to be well correlated with the solar wind density and the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) magnitude, higher energy events occurring as these quantities increase towards their maximum values when a sector centre approaches Jupiter. A number of studies, have presented convincing evidence that the HOM is generated by the cyclotron maser instability (CMI) which is generally accepted to be responsible for the terrestrial auroral kilometric radiation (AKR). This latter is closely associated with geomagnetic storms and interplanetary shocks and so we might expect the jovian aurora also to be similarly controlled. Some difference of opinion exists concerning this, however, as it has been suggested, theoretically, that the intensity of the dayside aurora and the radio emission would be anticorrelated with magnetospheric compression and hence enhanced solar wind density, pressure, etc. This problem will be discussed.
