Jupiter is expected to pulsate in a spectrum of acoustic modes and recent re-analysis of a spectroscopic time series has identified a regular pattern in the spacing of the frequencies citep{gaulme2011}. This exciting result can provide constraints on gross Jovian properties and warrants a more in-depth theoretical study of the seismic structure of Jupiter. With current instrumentation, such as the SYMPA instrument citep{schmider2007} used for the citet{gaulme2011} analysis, we assume that, at minimum, a set of global frequencies extending up to angular degree $ell=25$ could be observed. In order to identify which modes would best constrain models of Jupiters interior and thus help motivate the next generation of observations, we explore the sensitivity of derived parameters to this mode set. Three different models of the Jovian interior are computed and the theoretical pulsation spectrum from these models for $ellleq 25$ is obtained. We compute sensitivity kernels and perform linear
