An oscillating asymmetry to Io's sodium emission cloud

The spatial distribution of sodium emission north and south of Io was observed to have a time-dependent asymmetry correlated with Io's magnetic latitude. The spatial gradient was greatest when Jupiter's north magnetic pole pointed away from Io; this is a configuration of maximum probabilit...
