080820 IoB RHP
This is likely an arc, shows a bit of curvature.
The first I recognize this season.


080820 IoB LHP
Weaker than RHP, indicating a good amount of linear polarization


080826 IoA RHP


080826 IoA LHP
Very weak, nearly pure circular polarization.
Consistent with IoA being near the northern magnetic pole region.


080826 IoC LHP


080826 IoC RHP
Shows nearly pure LHP, consistent with IoC being near the southern magnetic pole.


080827 IoB RHP
I believe we can see some Ionospheric Modulation.


080827 IoB LHP
RHP is stronger than LHP, there is some linear polarization, but the RHP is consistent with IoB being a northern pole source.


Every Jovian spectrum is different !
