Extract

An approximate calculation of the electromagnetic field of a vertical dipole at the surface of a conducting earth, for small angles of the radius vector with the horizontal, was given by Sommerfield; the case of large angles with the horizontal has been studied by a number of writers. It is proposed here to develop formulae for the vertical dipole by a method which takes into account the singularities of the integrand of a certain integral more accurately than is done by Sommerfield; the analysis is developed especially for small horizontal angles and small numerical distances.
