The historical development of the study of Jupiter radio emission is considered and a description of the observational data is presented, taking into account the spectrum of the continuous microwave radiation, the polarization of the microwave radiation, the brightness distribution, the rotation-related variability, variations related to the zenocentric declination of the earth, and other time variations. The separation of radio emission into thermal and nonthermal components is discussed and interpretations of the two components are provided. A comparison of earth-based radio measurements with Pioneer 10 and 11 data is conducted and the future of earth-based radio observations is evaluated.
