An earlier model of the Jovian magnetosphere is utilized in which the centrifugal stress of corotating plasma distends the outer magnetosphere and opens the tail field. Because of a longitudinal asymmetry in the ionospheric plasma source strength, caused principally by the nonaxisymmetric surface field, the closed-field region in the tail expands and contracts with the rotation period, resulting in a 10-hour modulation of the flux of energetic particles escaping from the magnetosphere into interplanetary space.
