Description

The H and Z variations for the five international quiet days, each in October 1978 and February 1979, were compared for Huancayo (120S, 750W, dip+1.90) and Eusebio near Fortaleza (40S, 390W, dip-3.50). The H ranges at both the locations fluctuated widely but not parallel to each other, indicating violent, rapid space-time variations of the equatorial electrojet characteristics. The Z patterns were generally dissimilar at the two locations and indicated large scale latitudinal meanderings of the electrojet center from day to day as also during the same day. (author)
