Passively sounding icy and rocky bodies in our solar system provides a way to observe the surface and subsurface of these objects without the need for costly transmitters. Jupiter's decametric radiation provides a suitable source of radio frequency signals for sounding on geological scales of interest, but its spectral structure can introduce undesired artifacts. Recent studies have shown that Jovian bursts could be effectively applied as a source of passive sounding. However, it has been noted that the spectral properties of Jovian bursts, as measured with JUNO data, are not perfectly modeled as white noise, which can result in degraded sensitivity and vertical resolution for passive sounding. In response to this finding, we present conditioning processes that improve the echo detectability and sounding resolution for Jovian burst-like signals. More than 18 h of Jovian burst recordings are used to simulate conditioning of the natural spectral variation, demonstrating that high-quality corrections are possible with these processes for noise conditions in both the Jovian and Earth/Moon systems.

Abstract

Passively sounding icy and rocky bodies in our solar system provides a way to observe the surface and subsurface of these objects without the need for costly transmitters. Jupiter's decametric radiation provides a suitable source of radio frequency signals for sounding on geological scales of interest, but its spectral structure can introduce undesired artifacts. Recent studies have shown that Jovian bursts could be effectively applied as a source of passive sounding. However, it has been noted that the spectral properties of Jovian bursts, as measured with JUNO data, are not perfectly modeled as white noise, which can result in degraded sensitivity and vertical resolution for passive sounding. In response to this finding, we present conditioning processes that improve the echo detectability and sounding resolution for Jovian burst-like signals. More than 18 h of Jovian burst recordings are used to simulate conditioning of the natural spectral variation, demonstrating that high-quality corrections are possible with these processes for noise conditions in both the Jovian and Earth/Moon systems.
