Description of the coastal effect at equatorial latitudes with applications to the Peruvian and Nigerian zones
Abstract
The problem of the electromagnetic induction produced by a localized and an extended ionospheric current near an ocean coast, over a mantle of infinite conductivity, has been reduced to the solution of an integral equation where the induced current density appears in an implicit form. This formalism is applied to calculate the field induced by the geomagnetic daily variation due to the presence of the ocean at the Peruvian and Nigerian equatorial zones.
