Scientific paper

The Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope was used to observe the southern auroral spot of Jupiter in September, 1988; these observations indicate the presence of variations not only in the absolute intensities, but also the relative intensities, of the 2-micron H3(+) lines. Attention is given to the possible bases for such variations, which encompass (1) temperature fluctuations or different H3(+) ortho/para ratios due to spatial inhomogeneities of the ionosphere; (2) precipitation of different kinds of magnetospheric particles; and (3) different particle-flux values within the auroral zone.
