In this comment of the article [arXiv:2002.01150] "Locating the source field lines of Jovian decametric radio emissions" by YuMing Wang et al., 2020, we discuss the assumptions used by the authors to compute the beaming angle of Jupiter s decametric emissions induced by the moon Io. Their method, relying on multi-point radio observations, was applied to a single event observed on 14th March 2014 by Wind and both STEREO A/B spacecraft from 5 to 16 MHz, and erroneously identified as a northern emission (Io-B type) instead of a southern one (Io-D type). We encourage the authors to update their results with the right hemisphere of origin and to test their method on a larger sample of Jupiter-Io emissions.
