摘要

A one-dimensional chemical-diffusive model of the Jovian ionosphere, in conjunction with measured upper atmospheric temperatures, is used to analyze the upper ionospheric electron densities on Jupiter measured by the Galileo RSS instrument on December 8, 1995. The analyses of these measurements have yielded quite different ionospheric properties at ingress and egress in terms of both the magnitude and the altitude of the peak electron density (n_e). At ingress, the peak n_e was approx. 10~5 cm~(-3) at an altitude of approx. 900 km. However, at egress the n_e peak was approx. 5 times smaller than at ingress and was located at approx. 1800 km altitude. As with our previous studies, we find it necessary to invoke a combination of vibrationally excited H_2 and vertical plasma flow to explain the measured ionospheric structure. the most interesting conclusion of this study is that a downward drift of plasma is required to fit the peak altitude of the ingress n_e profile. The direction of the vertical flow is most likely determined by the horizontal neutral wind. At egress, the situation is quite different because a strong field-aligned drift of 90 m/s, most likely caused by the meridional component of the neutral wind, is required to maintain the peak n_e at the measured altitude. The role of vibrationally excited H_2 in determining the magnitude of the measured n_e appears to be less important at ingress than at egress.
