High resolution observations of Jupiter's synchrotron radiation belts show a well defined maximum of intensity at a radius that ranges from about 1.4 to 1.7 R_J. We compare the observations with calculations of radius, jovicentric latitude and magnetic declination at the magnetic equator on a locus of constant B in three field models. The agreement is generally good, and the discrepancies suggest inadequacies in the field models, particularly at longitudes where the non-dipolar field elements are pronounced. These observations of the synchrotron radiation pertain to small radii and low latitudes where few or no in-situ data exist. We derive otherwise-unobtainable information on the magnetic field at R less than 2 radii and latitude less than 15(o) .
