Abstract
THE radio beacon method of measuring TEC along a chain of optimally spaced stations near the equatorial anomaly has been used to monitor continuously the latitudinal extent of the anomaly. Comparisons with the magnitude of the electrojet show a clear dependence of anomaly strength upon the electrojet intensity with an approximate two-hour time delay.
