Description: This thesis describes observations of the flne structure in Jovian decametric radiation made at Grahamstown during the 1967-68 apparition. It was found that pulses with duration less than 0.5 milliseconds were common during fine structure storms. The restrictions placed on the source for different theories of origin of the short pulses are discussed. The variation of the probability of occurrence from year to year is analysed on the assumption that the radiation is found in directions fixed with respect to the planet's magnetic field. It is concluded that there is a factor other than the declination of Earth and the Io effect which controls the probability of occurrence. A detailed analysis suggests a beam width of 3° in latitude at Jupiter but further work is necessary to check this.
