is the impedance under the ionosphere. With the impedance Z ( m a , the electric
and magnetic fields on the ground surface can be obtained from those under
the ionosphere, as it was done in Chapter 7. On the ionosphere, the horizontal
electric field is continuous and discontinuity of the horizontal magnetic field
is proportional to the total electric current, i.e.,
