Long Period Magnetotelluric Fields

These are long-period data collected in Tibet in 1995. (The signals were very weak). Note the daily variation produced as the earth rotates within the solar wind. At day 12 a sharp step in Bx (north-south manetic field) occurs. This was generated by a sun-spot. The low frequency content of this step gave resolution to a depth of several hundred kilometres.
