Scientific paper

The preliminary results of an analysis of quick-look data obtained from a high field magnetometer placed on Pioneer 11 are presented. It is found that within three planetary radii of Jupiter, the planetary magnetic field is too complex to be represented by a simple offset tilted dipole (OTD), as was suggested by Pioneer 10 data, and that higher harmonic multipoles are required. Reconciliation is achieved with earlier independently derived estimates obtained from ground-based observations of radio emissions, since the movement and tilt of the Pioneer 10 model yielded a field configuration and intensity that were inconsistent with those estimates.
