Jupiter’s atmospheric winds are likely responsible for this time-variation. These winds extend over 3000 km deep to where the interior is highly conductive & advect the field, shearing it apart and carrying it around the planet.
Analysis provides a lower bound on Jupiter’s wind velocity of 4 cm/s (at 0.95RJ).
