The main types of the autocorrelation function of spectral
intensity in Io-A radio storms: a) the periodic single arcs
(2000 October 27); b) the periodic groups of arcs (2001 October 31);
c) irregularly spaced single arcs (2005 February 10); d) irregularly
spaced groups of arcs (2005 January 27); e) the background noise with
low level of interference (2001 November 2007); f) the idealized
scheme of measurements for the time scale of arcs (![]() ![]() |

Figure 5: Histograms of the dominating time scale of radio-storm interior structure in a dynamic spectrum of DAM. The fundamental period of transverse magnetic oscillations in the Io torus (FO) and the first harmonic (H1) are marked according to Glassmeier et al. (1989). The standard classification of DAM storm is used with the polarization channel in the brackets. |

Figure 9: Io can excite the resonance oscillations in 3rd harmonic of the Io plasma torus (grey band) during the most powerful DAM storms, when Io's position coincides with the maximum of the standing Alfvén wave. This Alfvén wave can accelerate electrons and modulate related DAM with periods of 5-6 min. |
