Simultaneous observations at about 22 MHz of an Io-unrelated component of Jovian decametric radiation from Voyagers 1 and 2 and from a ground-based observatory are analyzed to investigate the beam structure of the radiation and to locate the radio-emitting region. It is concluded that the radiation of this component is emitted in quasi-continuous beams that corotate with the Jovian inner magnetosphere and that each beam can be approximated by a sector of a hollow cone. The source locations are geometrically determined by fitting a hollow-cone beam model, based on the O4 magnetic field model, to the observations. The result indicates that the radio sources lie above the northern hemisphere and on the field lines and are connected with the ultraviolet aurora of the so-called active sector. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1988
