We report on the complete polarization state (four Stokes parameters) as a function of both frequency and time, of Io-related radiation from Jupiter as observed with the spectropolarimeter at Nancay, France. Our observations include 37 radio storms, with events of both lefthand (LH) and righthand (RH) elliptical polarization and from all Io-related sources (A,B,C and D), plus two non-Io events. The high degree of circular polarization often observed, particularly for LH emission, is difficult to explain in terms of the standard theory of cyclotron maser radiation. The interpretation of the observations in terms of the locations of the sources in Jupiter's magnetosphere is the subject of a companion paper.
