Horizontal Polarization in Array Studies of Anomalous Geomagnetic Variations

Nature Physical Science volume 237, pages 8–9 (1972)Cite this article

Abstract

RECENTLY, natural external variations of the geomagnetic field have been used extensively to study the electromagnetic response of the Earth and thus to estimate its electrical conductivity structure. In particular magnetic storms and bays, having power mostly in the frequency range 0.5 to 10 cycles/h, are suitable for examination of the crust and upper mantle.
