Committee to promote observations of daily variation of the horizontal magnetic force between and near the geographic and magnetic equators

The work to be done by this newly‐formed Committee is indicated in Resolution No. 7 adopted at the Oslo Assembly (1948) of the International Association of Terrestrial Magnetism and Electricity. This resolution reads: "The International Association of Terrestrial Magnetism and Electricity endorses resolution No. 14 adopted at the Brussels meeting of the Mixed Commission on the Ionosphere of the International Council of Scientific Unions, namely: 'That, in view of the remarkable geomagnetic control of F2‐layer density and the known abnormal daily variation of the magnetic force in regions where the geomagnetic and geographical equators are widely separated, efforts should be made to achieve operation, for one or two years, of a chain of ionospheric and magnetic stations across these equators near the longitude of Huancayo or in East Africa and, if possible, another chain near a place at which these equators coincide'."
