Popis: Summary The daily variations of Earth current potential gradients at Zaria, Nigeriamagnetic latitude 1-4"N-over a six-month period are presented. It is shown that these variations can be explained reasonably well on the application of a simple theory of electromagnetic induction in the Earth by the equatorial electrojet. Reference is also made to similar observations made previously at an equatorial station in Ghana to illustrate the latitudinal effect of the variations.
