    A linear regression on standard deviations of differential proton magnetometer measurements at distances from a few meters to 50 kilometers indicates a standard deviation of hourly means that varies with site separation as σ=a+bd where a=0.07±0.08nT, b=0.01±0.003nT/km and d is the site separation in kilometers. At a few meters separation, for sites with low cultural noise in both seismically inactive and active regions, the standard deviation of hourly mean data has a mean of 0.12±0.03nT for instruments with 0.25nT sensitivity and 0.07±0.01nT for instruments with 0.125nT sensitivity. The least-count noise contributions are expected to be less than 0.06nT and 0.03nT, while undetermined instrument noise appears to contribute 0.10 and 0.06nT respectively. Instrument temperature sensitivity does not exceed 0.001nT/°C over a range from-6°C to 21°C. For typical site separations of 10 to 15km throughout the San Andreas fault, estimates of σ for hourly mean data range from 0.15 to 0.3nT depending on local magnetization characteristics. Spectral density estimates indicate difference field noise power decreases with increasing frequency at about 3 db/octave. Dominant spectral peaks occur at diurnal harmonics and at the tidal M2 frequency. Geomagnetic difference-field noise limits measurement capability at all frequencies below about 2 c.p.h. Where instrument precision starts to limit detection capability, instruments of higher sensitivity may be useful.

    The profile study involved the evaluation of the effect of the equatorial electrojet on magnetic variations for stations lying between geographic latitudes 14°N and 5°N or dip latitude 4°N and 8°S; and longitude 8°E. An attempt was made to use the strong non-uniform source field of the jet for day effects to make a sounding of average electrical conductivity as a function of depth. Results obtained from the analysis of data show consistency with FORBUSH and CASAVERDOE (1961) and with ONWUMECHILI and OGBUEHL (1967). A model based on the observed Sq shows that the depth of penetration is about 600km while a model based on the day time fast fluctuations shows that at periods of about one hour the depth of penetration lies between 400km and 600km.

    The geomagnetic daily variations in Central Africa are separated into their parts of external and internal origin and from these parts the depth of the non-conducting layer in that zone is found using methods previously discussed by the authors. A sharp latitudinal gradient in this depth is found in the interval (-400km, 600km) around the dip equator.
