Description: Time histories, angular distributions and energy spectra of energetic protons were observed over an energy range of 0.2 to 20 MeV for the four passes of Pioneers 10 and 11 through the Jovian magnetosphere. The energetic particle data from these four passes are remarkably different. Azimuthal anisotropies appear to dominate with time variations also contributing to the very complex topology. On the inbound P-10 pass the expected corotation anisotropy was not observed in the outer magnetosphere. The simplest explanation is that the particle reference frame (the magnetospheric plasma) is moving nearly radially, suggesting the existence of a planetary wind at that time.
