A bstract R eddy , I. K., D. R ankin , 1971, Magnetotelluric Effect of Dipping Anisotropies, Geophysical Prospecting 19, 84–97. A solution is obtained for the magnetotelluric effect in the case of multi‐layered earth, each layer containing dipping anisotropy, with the strike of anisotropy oriented at an arbitrary angle to the measuring directions. A technique to compute tensor impedances and tensor apparent resistivities is presented and the importance of anisotropies in magnetotelluric interpretation is discussed.
