English Abstract

A program was designed for calculating the Central Meridian Longitude of system ΙΙΙ of Jupiter (CMLΙΙΙ ), phase of Eye-Oh’s (Io) satellite (ФIo).

In addition calculation was made to predict the type of radio storm that related to position of Io (Io-A,B,C,D), and unrelated to the position of it (non-Io-A,B,C,D) that was emitted, as a result of the motion of Jupiter and Io with respect to the observer on Earth.

The prediction of these storms was taken for three different Iraqi locations (Mousl, Baghdad and Basra).

Two Io-storm ranges were used in this program according to the standard observations by the spacecrafts (Voyager1 and Voyager2).

The input parameters for this program were specified by the user (year, month, day and the observer’s location).

The output program result was in form of tables that provide the user information about the day, the month and the Local Time (LT) of beginning and end of each type of predicted storm.

The results according to the observations at year 2008 gave the observer more types of radio storms as compared with the results that depending on the observations at year 1976, these results indicated to the type of radio storm are not changed for those locations, but their LT is changed, because it depends on the longitude of the location.

The difference between the begin and end of the storm for Baghdad location was calculated to notice the difference in time interval along the year, this difference is due to the motion of Jupiter and Io.

In addition to the number of storms, which were received by the observer on Earth along the day.

The rotation periods of Jupiter and Io were also tested.The obtained results showed a good agreement as compared with the results of Radio Jove.

The calculations and results of this study were carried out by using (Visual Basic 5.0) software
