Jupiter's radio rotation period officially adopted by the International
Astronomical Union in 2002

For consistency, I suggest that CML System III computations should be based
on the 2002 IAU official value of the Jovian radio rotation period.

In Seidelmann, et al. 2002:
Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy, 82, pp. 83-110, 2002.
the IAU officially adopted the Jovian radio rotation period from:
Higgins, C. A., Carr, T. D. and Reyes, F. 1996 :
" A new determination of Jupiter's radio rotation period ", Geophys. Res.
Letters 23 , 2653-2656.

Dr. Chuck Higgins may have information about more recent calculations (which
may affect the Juno mission in 2016). I copy him.
Professor Dr. Kazumasa Imai may be able to explain the method of computation
used in Jupiter Radio Map Ver. 0 .7. I copy him.
Mr. Jim Sky may be able to explain the method of computation used in
Radio-Jupiter Pro 3. I copy him.

Best regards
Victor
