Using published data from the Jovian magnetopause crossings of Pioneers 10 and 11, the apparent crossing times as determined from the solar wind plasma detector and from the vector magnetometer are comapred. There were 13 published crossings for which both plasma and magnetic-field signatures were clearly defined. The occurrence distribution of these 13 crossings with respect to the relative timing of plasma and field signatures is shown. Results indicate that Jupiter's magnetopause is more turbulent than the Earth's possibly as the result of the large velocity shear between the magnetosheath and the partially corotating Jovian plasma. However, it is noted that the data set considered is too small to justify a definitive interpretation.
