Abstract
IN a recent paper, I have suggested that if the indication of an asymmetry in the daily range of the geomagnetic vertical intensity (Z) on opposite sides of the magnetic equator (higher ranges to the south) is confirmed, it might be explained by the opposition in phase of the equatorial electrojet effect on Z and the normal Z-variation on one side and the agreement of their phases on the other1.
