Scientific paper

Electromagnetic induction in a stratified moon with a trailing cavity is discussed. The influence of the moon wake is studied by using a two-layer lunar model with a perfectly conductive core. The magnetic field is shown to be independent of the wake length when that quantity is greater than 3 lunar radii. Regions on the sunlit and dark sides where the magnetic field may be described in terms of its first spatial harmonic have been distinguished, together with the corresponding errors admitted. It is in these regions that the electrical conductivity of the moon can be found with very high accuracy, by simultaneous observations on the lunar surface and in the undisturbed solar wind. Results of these observations can be conveniently related to values of the apparent resistivity.
