Scientific paper

Plotted as a function of Jovian central meridian longitude, the position angle of Jupiter's linearly polarized microwave emission describes a curve which has been substantially invariant over a period of 16 years. This curve can be represented with considerable accuracy as a two-term Fourier series. The amplitude of the fundamental is between 9 deg and 10 deg and of the second harmonic between 1 deg .0 and 1 deg .5. Using a simplified model of Jupiter's inner magnetosphere, it is shown that the measured amplitudes and phases of these two terms are in good agreement with values deduced from the dipole and quadrupole components of Jupiter's magnetic field as measured from Pioneer 11.
