Scientific paper

Theoretical models of Io-Jovian magnetosphere interaction are reviewed and Voyager 1 data are analyzed. Magnetic field measurements, Io's plasma torus, and radio measurements are discussed. Magnetic measurements prove the existence of an Alfven wave current system associated with Io. The multiplicity of decametric arcs during one Jupiter rotation is correlated with the multiple Alfven wave system installed by Io around Jupiter. The separation between waves falls in the same range as temporal separation between arcs. The width of an arc agrees well with the width of the corresponding Alfven wings. These associations are phenomenological, and do not constitute a theory of Io's controlled decametric emissions.
