Analysis of the Effect Produced by Lateral Inhomogeneities in the Upper Mantle in the Peruvian Region
An expression for the field induced by the ionospheric current system at equatorial latitudes, due to the presence of a mantle with a non-uniform boundary in the north-south direction was obtained using conformal mapping.

| Sumario: | An expression for the field induced by the ionospheric current system at equatorial latitudes, due to the presence of a mantle with a non-uniform boundary in the north-south direction was obtained using conformal mapping. The induced field was then calculated for the particular case of a semi-elliptical rise of the mantle, and the result applied to the equatorial zone of Peru, where a latitudinal gradient in the depth of the non-conducting layer had been found in previous work. Finally, the results were correlated with the tectonic features of the studied zone. © 1985, Society of Geomagnetism and Earth, Planetary and Space Sciences. All rights reserved. |
