Abstract
AN abnormally large value of the solar daily range of the horizontal magnetic intensity, H, found at stations within a few degrees from the magnetic equator has been ascribed due to eastward electric currents flowing in the lower ionosphere during the daylight hours and known as equatorial electrojet1. A longitudinal effect in the strength of the electro jet with a maximum in the American zone has been shown by Rastogi2.
