Abstract. One of the main features of Jupiter's magnetosphere is its equatorial magnetodisc, which significantly increases the field strength and size of the magnetosphere. Analysis of Juno measurements of the magnetic field during the first 10 orbits covering the dawn to pre-dawn sector of the magnetosphere (∼03:30–06:00 local time) has allowed us to determine optimal parameters of the magnetodisc using the paraboloid magnetospheric magnetic field model, which employs analytic expressions for the magnetospheric current systems. Specifically, within the model we determine the size of the Jovian magnetodisc and the magnetic field strength at its outer edge.
