A description is given of the transient variation of the earth's magnetic field known as the quiet day variation field and the Sq and L ionospheric dynamo current systems which can be inferred from its characteristics. Sounding rocket investigations of the magnetic field discontinuities obtained when this current system is penetrated are reviewed and the need to measure other dynamo parameters is discussed.
