Scientific paper

A steady-state model for the inward diffusion of energetic Jovian radiation belt ions driven by the outward interchange diffusion of cool ions from Io is presented. A new explicit form for the height-integrated Pedersen ionospheric conductivity is used which incorporates ion precipitation from the Jovian radiation belt. Qualitative agreement is found between model solutions for the energetic radiation belt ion density and reported observations. For all realistic solutions, the Iogenic ion density gradient over the Io plasma ramp is shown to be relatively insensitive to the model parameters and is less than about one half of the value obtained from Voyager 1 observations.
