PDS: The Planetary Atmospheres Node
The Lightning and Radio Emission Detector (LRD) instrument was carried by the Galileo Probe into Jupiter's atmosphere. The LRD verified the existence of lightning in the atmosphere and its basic characteristics. Also, the instrument, operated in its magnetospheric mode at distances of about 5, 4, 3, and 2 planetary radii from Jupiter's center to measure the radio frequency (RF) noise spectrum in Jupiter's magnetosphere.
