We report a new component of Jovian radio emission observed by the Ulysses spacecraft when Ulysses was at high Jovigraphic latitudes (>30¿ north or south of the Jovian magnetic equator). This bursty high-latitude emission is elliptically polarized in the right-hand sense when observed from northern latitudes and in the left-hand sense when observed from southern latitudes, consistent with extraordinary mode. The orientation of the polarization ellipse is observed to systematically vary with time relative to the observer. It is argued that the elliptically-polarized nature of the emission is intrinsic to the source region. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1995
