Scientific paper

The Jovian hydrogen bulge is located 180 deg away in the System II longitude from the active sector identified as the source region for Jupiter's decametric radio emission and release of energetic electrons into interplanetary space. The sector results from the large magnetic anomaly in the Jovian northern hemisphere; it is expected that a two-cell magnetospheric convection pattern is found in the Jovian atmosphere. The magnetic anomaly of the active sector produces a convection which brings the magnetospheric plasma to the upper atmosphere at the longitudes below the hydrogen bulge; the hot plasma contains electrons with energies of about 100 keV which dissociate atmospheric molecules into atomic hydrogen creating longitudinal symmetry in hydrogen Lyman alpha emission.
