The millisecond component of the Jovian decameter emission was studied at high resolution in order to examine the short-term behavior of the S-burst drift rates and to define the drift rate spectrum at high frequencies. By using dynamic spectra of 300 microsec and 3.3 kHz resolution and covering discrete frequency bands in the 26-33 MHz range, large systematic changes in the magnitude of the S-burst drift rates are observed on a time scale of seconds to minutes. The drift rate variability, its dependence on frequency, and absence of the predicted drift rate turnover in the spectrum are interpreted in terms of an ionospheric electron source. Low-resolution intensity-time tracings, abrupt changes in mean drift rates from group to group, and systematic variations in the group-to-group mean drift rates due to predictable temporal changes in the magnetic field gradient on the Io flux tube are discussed. These temporal changes are due to motion of the Io-associated magnetic flux tube in the Jovian magnetosphere.
