All decametric observations available for the period 1951 to 1975 are analyzed, and the Jovian decametric rotation period is estimated. The power spectrum of storm occurrence is obtained by the method given by Schuster (1898) and the rotation period is determined from the position of the peak in the spectrum. The commencement and termination of a storm are taken to be the first and last time it was seen by any observer. The analysis shows the real and apparent Jovian decametric period to be 9 h 55 min 29.70 plus or minus 0.05 sec, in agreement with the values given by Duncan (1967) and Kaiser and Alexander (1972).
