Magnetic field data of the equatorial electrojet observed by POGO satellites from 1967 to 1970 were investigated by comparing the position of the electrojet axis with the position of the dip equator on the earth's surface. No significant latitudinal shift of the electrojet from the dip equator was observed; however, unexpected instances in which the field increases with altitude were found, including the oscillation of the magnitude of the equatorial electrojet signature with maxima at 460 and 635 km and minima at 580 and 725 km. It was concluded that the model developed shows that a field oscillating with altitude can be also caused by a single complicated system of current without additional current layers.
