Abstract
JUPITER'S non-thermal emission in the decameter region of the spectrum takes the form of sporadic radio noise storms having durations ranging from minutes to several hours1. Observers agree that the storms show fine structure, in part composed of bursts which typically have durations ranging from several tenths of a second to several seconds. However, there has not been agreement as to the presence of still finer structure or the intrinsic origin of any of the fine structure.
