During the Millennium campaign over Dec 2000 - Jan 2001, UV images of Jupiter's aurora were obtained with the HST STIS instrument while Cassini flew past Jupiter and Galileo moved out into the magnetosphere. There has now been sufficient time for the various experimenters to examine their data, and a consensus has developed about the strength of the solar wind at Jupiter during the periods of HST observations. There have been theoretical predictions about the effect of pressure increases in the solar wind on Jupiter's main auroral oval, predicting both an increase and a decrease in the auroral brightness. The satellite footprint emissions are not expected to be sensitive to the solar wind conditions, and there have been no theoretical predictions for the response of the auroral emissions poleward of the main oval. This paper will present the measurements that have been taken, and discuss any correlations between auroral activity and solar wind conditions at Jupiter.
