The 'gyrophase drift' phenomenon in Jupiter's fine-dust 'gossamer ring' is presently shown to exceed the plasma-drag drift, and may be able to move small, charged grains either toward or away from synchronous radius. The grain gyrophase drifts toward the higher temperature in the presence of a radial gradient in plasma temperature; gyrophase drift will also occur in conjunction with a radial gradient in the relative concentrations of different plasma ion species, or even due to plasma-grain velocity variation associated with the grain's cycloidal motion through the plasma. The Poynting-Robertson drift is noted to be diminutive by comparison with either the plasma-drag or gyrophase drifts.
