“…The dynamics of Jupiter's magnetosphere are dominated by planetary rotation and the outflow of material from Io [see, e.g., Khurana et al, 2004;Clarke et al, 2004], and the nature of the solar wind interaction has long been debated [Brice and Ioannidis, 1970;Southwood and Kivelson, 2001;Nichols et al, 2006;Badman and Cowley, 2007;McComas and Bagenal, 2007;Cowley et al, 2008;Delamere and Bagenal, 2010]. Observationally, Geophysical Research Letters 10.1002/2017GL073029 the total power of the Jovian auroras in various wavelengths exhibits modulation by interplanetary conditions [Baron et al, 1996;Pryor et al, 2005;Clarke et al, 2009;Badman et al, 2016;Kita et al, 2016;Kimura et al, 2016;Dunn et al, 2016], particularly increasing in some cases (not all) in response to expected solar wind compression regions characterized by overall high dynamic pressure and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) strength.…”
