Nighttime hourly mean values of D, H and Z(or X, Y and Zin a few cases) from 113 observatories for the interval 1964.0 to 1966.0 have been analyzed to determine the semi-annual variation. Results from the 84 observatories with dip latitudes between ±60° have been subjected to spherical harmonic analysis to determine the coefficients of the internal and external parts. Only those coefficients that are found to be significantly different from zero at the 5 per cent level have been included.One of the main objectives is to obtain a reliable estimate, with confidence limits, of the internal/external ratio at a very low frequency for constraining estimates of the deep conductivity of the mantle. It is shown that a model that includes only the principal P01 term can lead to a seriously misleading internal/external ratio.
