Abstract

 Electrodynamic effects play a significant, global role in the state and energization of the Earth's ionosphere/magnetosphere, but even more so on Jupiter, where the auroral energy input is four
 orders of magnitude greater than on Earth. The Jovian magnetosphere is distinguished from Earth’s by its
 rapid rotation rate and contributions from satellite atmospheres and internal plasma sources. The
 electrodynamic effects of these factors have a key role in the state and energization of the ionosphere-coronaplasmasphere system of the planet and its interaction with Io and the icy satellites.
