Scientific paper

The relevant parameters of the magnetospheres of Jupiter and earth are investigated based on the wave-particle resonant interactions that are believed to be responsible for the generation of VLF chorus emissions observed on Voyager 1. Expressions are derived for the wave-particle interaction length and the nonlinearity parameter, and the values of these parameters are compared with those calculated for the earth's magnetosphere. It is determined that the typical interaction lengths are at least 2-5 times larger in the Jovian than in the terrestrial magnetosphere, and that the wave intensity necessary to reach the threshold of nonlinearity in the Jovian magnetosphere is 5-100 times lower. Measurements by Voyager 1 show that the inferred wave magnetic field intensities of the Jovian chorus are in the range of reported intensities for terrestrial chorus, probably due to the fact that the fluxes of few keV resonant particles found in the Jovian magnetosphere were typically two orders of magnitude higher. Growth rate measurements on Voyager 1 broadband wave data are employed to confirm that the temporal growth rates of Jovian chorus bursts are higher than for the earth.
