Scientific paper

A technique developed to separate flow and gradient controbutions to the anisotropies of protons through an examination of their dependence on ion energy is here applied to Jovian data obtained by the Ulysses spacecraft Anisotropy Telescopes instrumentation. Results are presented for an equatorial plasma sheet crossing and for the transition interval between the southerm plasma sheet boundary and the outer magnetosphere. Outer plasma sheet flow was sunward at 100-200 km/sec, while that in the outer magnetosphere was antisunward at comparable speeds.
