Scientific paper
The sensitivity of the flux ratio to the uncertainties in the boundary conditions and diffusion coefficient is analyzed. The principal result is that if the diffusion is driven externally, for example, by winds in Jupiter's ionosphere, the inward flux exceeds or is of the same order of magnitude as the outward flux. On the other hand, if the diffusion is driven locally by the centrifugal interchange instability, as suggested by one interpretation of Voyager plasma data, the outward flux can be one or two orders of magnitude greater than the inward flux. Fits to the Voyager in situ plasma torus data obtained through solutions to the transport equations appropriate to wind driven and centrifugally driven diffusion are compared.
