Summary
"The Voyager encounters with Jupiter led to two main areas of investigation (1) the definition of the structure and composition of the upper atmosphere and the interaction of the magnetosphere and atmosphere, and (2) the study of the plasma torus using the EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet) data in conjunction with ground-based and in-situ measurements. In the course of these investigations, the atmosphere studies were extended to a comparative study with the bound atmospheres of Saturn and Titan and the torus study expanded to include the extended atmospheres of Titan (the H torus) and the rings of Saturn."--NTIS abstract.
