Using magnetic field and plasma data from the Voyager 1 inbound encounter, we have derived local values for the mass outflow rate and the radial bulk velocity in the dayside Jovian magnetosphere, and for the height-integrated Pedersen conductivity of the Jovian ionosphere. These values, accurate within a factor of 2, are compatible with previous order-of-magnitude estimates of these quantities. Our results suggest that the shape of the plasma sheet is more complicated than previously suspected. A search for evidence of enhanced plasma outflow in the active sector was inconclusive. |
