Scientific paper

This summary report discusses Jupiter's magnetopause, bow shock and magnetosheath, based on fine scale magnetic field data from the Voyager 1 and 2 encounters. Explicit models of the dawnside magnetopause and bow shock in Jupiter's orbital plane employ an axisymmetric parabola and hyperbola, respectively, and satisfy average boundary crossing positions, inbound and outbound; these models are determined separately for the two encounters. A new phenomenon has been discovered in Jupiter's magnetosheath. It is manifested as (5 or) 10 hour quasi-periodic modulation of the direction of the magnetic field in the outbound magnetosheath, predominantly in the northward (N) and southward (S) directions. It was seen to occur during both encounters and appears most evident in Voyager 2 outbound observations.
