Radio emissions from the planets earth, Jupiter, and Saturn

The present investigation is concerned with a comparison of the general observable properties of the radio emission from the earth, Jupiter, and Saturn. Attention is given to typical dynamo spectra, average power, average sense of circular polarization, external control of radio emission, source locations, and emission efficiencies. A data summary regarding planetary radio observations is presented in a table. The polarization of northern hemisphere emission for the three planets is considered along with possibilities regarding the total radiated power of the Uranus radio emission.
