Energetic particle events /greater than or equal to 30 keV/ of Jovian origin observed by Voyager 1 and 2 in interplanetary spaceDetailed observations of ion events of Jovian origin as observed by the low energy charge particle (LECP) instrumentation on Voyager 1 and 2 during the inbound and outbound pass for both spacecraft are reported. The general characteristics of these events are examined, and a comparison is made with similar observations at earth. Careful attention is given to the compositional signature of the Jovian ion events. Two of the specific events discussed in detail are selected to display the range of variability and complexity of the Jovian-produced interplanetary ion events. The observations are seen as strongly implying that the Jovian magnetosphere is the source of a significant fraction of the particles.
