A dense network of geomagnetic field observations along the 210-degree magnetic meridian during 2000-2002 enabled us to determine daily values of (1) the total current intensity of the equivalent Sq current system Jtotal in kilo-amperes and (2) the distance between the northern and southern foci of the equivalent Sq current system dNS in degrees. It is found that the daily range of the north-south component of the geomagnetic field at Davao (a dip-equatorial station in Philippines) can be well described in this simple form: (Jtotal+76.379)(-0.007dNS+0.8217). The results suggest that day-to-day variation of equatorial electrojet is largely controlled by the intensity and shape of the mid-latitude Sq current system and local effects are often of secondary importance (under 20%).
