It has been shown through numerical calculation that the surface area of magnetization contributing to anomalies in the scalar field (B) at MAGSAT heights is much larger for equatorial latitudes than for high-latitude regions. Such a difference arises because near the Equator the anomaly in B, as estimated from satellite data, is dominantly a projection of the north-south (X) component and in high latitudes it is the vertical (Z) component that controls B. This difference in integration area requires equivalent dipoles of larger size in low latitudes for stable solutions. Further, though we expect the magnitude of the B anomaly to increase conspicuously with latitude, no such changes are seen because of the geometry of the field lines and the changes in effective surface area.
