Solar wind influence on non-thermal planetary radio emission

Extensive studies on the characteristics of planetary radio emissions yielded that the solar wind has a decisive effect on specific planetary radio components. Detailled investigations on the solar wind influence on planetary radio emissions have been performed at the ''Terrestrial Kilometric Radiation'' (TKR), at the ''Decametric'' (DAM) and ''Hectometric'' (HOM) Jovian radio emissions (independent from the Io satellite modulation), and finally at the ''Saturn Kilometric Radiation'' (SKR). The latter exhibited an exceedingly interesting behaviour during periods in which Saturn was immersed in the distant Jovian magnetotail and therefore almost totally shielded off the solar wind. The very recent findings of the Uranus radio emissions are not analysed yet with respect to the solar wind influence, but due to the very dynamic behaviour of the Uranian magnetosphere it seems unlikely that the solar wind control is dominating
