Scientific paper

Models for the Io oxygen clouds were improved to calculate the two dimensional sky plane intensity of the 1304 A emission and the 880 A emission of atomic oxygen, in addition to the 6300 A emission intensity. These three wavelength emissions are those for which observational measurements have been performed by ground based, rocket, Earth orbiting satellite and Voyager spacecraft instruments. Comparison of model results and observations suggests that an oxygen flux from Io of about 3 billion atoms sq cm sec is required for agreement. Quantitative analysis of the Io sodium cloud has focused upon the initial tasks of acquiring and preliminary evaluation of new sodium cloud and Io plasma torus data.
