Description: Monitoring of Io's neutral sodium emission cloud, monitored from two earth observatories during the period of the Voyager 1 encounter, demonstrated that the behavior of the cloud is complex; displaying a variety of changes, both systematic and secular, which can have both time and spatial dependencies while also possessing some characteristics of stability. Dynamic models of the sodium cloud employing Voyager 1 plasma data provide a reasonable fit to the encounter images of one of the observatories. The modeling assumptions of anisotropic ejection of neutral sodium atoms from the leading, inner hemisphere of Io, with a velocity distribution characteristic of sputtering, adequately explain the overall intensity distribution of the 'near cloud'.
