A model which predicts the quasi-trapped density and precipitation flux of particles drifting perpendicularly to the Jovian magnetic field as a function of longitude is presented. The location and intensity of the precipitation peaks of electrons and ions in both hemispheres are investigated, along with the dependence of ions and electrons on the L-shell parameter. The results reveal the influence of the angular distribution of the injection mechanism. The theoretical results have been compared to spaced-based observations of the far-UV intensity variations in the Jovian auroral oval.
