The crucial link of the volcanic eruption to the magnetosphere is Io\u2019s atmosphere (2), where transient changes in column density have not been observed up to date. Direct escape could link (1) with (3) without affecting (2), but the thermal escape rate is only marginal according to the current understanding. (Graphic by L.
