Scientific paper

Measurements of S-bursts in decametric radio emissions from the Jovian ionosphere comprise less than 10% of the total observations. Recently, Ergun et al. [2005] and Su et al. [2005] explored a possible relationship between S-bursts and resonant Alfven waves in Jupiter's upper ionosphere. Electron acceleration or modulation may provide the physical mechanism that transfers energy from the Alfven wave to the S-burst. The modulated electron fluxes, in turn, may generate or modulate the generation of the S-burst emissions. The first Earth-based S-burst observation was presented by Ergun et al. [2005] with associated Alfven waves and electron acceleration signatures. In this presentation, we will present the first simulation result of electron distributions associated with Alfven waves at Jupiter and Earth using a linear gyrofluid model and a test particle method.
