Interplanetary shocks at 5 AU and their effects on Jupiter's decametric radio emissions
<p>Interplanetary shocks cause large and abrupt changes in solar wind plasma and magnetic field parameters. Shock occurrence and strength are dependent on the heliocentric distance. Further, shocks have important effects on planetary magnetospheres, such as causing large magnetospheric compressions or expansions, and triggering auroral activity emissions. In this work recent results regarding interplanetary shock parameters determined from analysis of in-situ spacecraft plasma and magnetic field data measured near Jupiter&#8217;s orbit are presented. The distribution of parameters for both fast forward and fast reverse shocks is analysed and compared with interplanetary shocks detected at other heliocentric distances, Further, an analysis of &#160;interplanetary shock effects on Jupiter decametric auroral radio emissions independent of Io (non-Io DAM) is presented.&#160;</p>
