Abstract
On 17th and 22nd March, 1951, the measurements of the decrease in the earth's magnetic field were continued by means of a magnetometer set up in a rocket. The experiments which were carried out on the coast of Peru confirmed the existence of an electric current layer within theE-layer of the ionosphere and thus support the theory of Belfour, Stewart and Schuster. There remains still to be cleared the high value of (400±50) γ observed between 93 and 105 km. Moreover, the experiments from March 17th show a deviation from the dipole formula at lower altitudes which is due to surface anomalies and conforms with anomalies observed in other parts of the Pacific Ocean.
