摘要: The plasma distribution around Io as measured by Voyager 1 displays an asymmetric discontinuity at Io's orbit that has been suggested to be the signature of centrifugally driven interchange diffusion fed derived from Io. We explore this hypothesis here further and find it valid. particular form for coefficient appropriate turbulence is derived. nonlinear character kind thereby made explicit. Solutions nonlinear, time-independent linearized, time-dependent equations are given. These display a markedly conservative behavior. steady state solutions identical in previously studied equation linear, atmospherically diffusion. exhibit negative feed-back quality buffers response density changes source strength. Estimates strength, coefficient, signal propagation speed also
