We have modeled the chemistry of hydrocarbon ions in the jovian ionosphere. We find that a layer of hydrocarbon ions is formed in the altitude range \(300-400 \mathrm{~km}\) above the ammonia cloud tops, due largely to direct ionization of hydrocarbons by photons in the wings of the \(\mathrm{H}_{2}
Recent work has been concerned with calculating the threedimensional ion concentrations and Pedersen and Hall conductivities within the auroral region of Jupiter for varying conditions of incident electron precipitation. Using the jovian ionospheric model, we present results that show the auroral io
