Scientific paper

Measurements of absolute vertical field in order to locate the magnetic equator and of diurnal variation at two stations near this equator are described and interpreted. It is shown that the observed variability of the diurnal variation can be explained by supposing changes from day to day in the position and strength of the electrojet. The mean position of the jet axis lies very close to the magnetic equator for the period February and March 1961, but the axis moves from one day to another with a root mean square displacement of 46 km. The lack of dependence of jet strength of the normal current system introduces considerable errors in estimates of magnetic variation based on supposedly fixed ratios between non-equatorial and equatorial stations.
