The frequency drift measurements performed at different frequencies throughout several storms to test the hypothesis of trapped electrons accelerated at Io are presented. The observations were made in the 20-40 MHz range with high time and frequency resolutions; the measurements show that the average value of the drift-rate at a fixed frequency varies all along a given storm. The measured drift-rate of a storm cannot be fitted by a set of curves deduced from the trapped electrons hypothesis; at the maximum frequency of emission, very high drift-rates are measured for most cases, which contradicts this hypothesis. It is concluded that the electrons responsible for the S-burst emission are more likely accelerated in the ionosphere of Jupiter than at Io.
