Scientific paper

The paper deals with computer ray tracing results for lightning-generated whistlers propagating in the Jovian magnetosphere. The waves are launched from a point on the Jovian surface at 66 degrees latitude and propagate approximately along L = 6 out to near the equatorial plane and into the Io plasma torus. The results clearly indicate that the whistlers propagate with very little dispersion until they reach the torus, at which time the dispersion starts to increase very rapidly. Good agreement between the computed and observed dispersions is established.
