Magnetic Disturbance Daily Variation
(symbol
SD)
</dt>
A periodic variation of the earth's magnetic
field that is in phase with solar (local) time. It is the difference
between the solar daily variation (or the disturbed-day solar daily variation)
and the quiet-day solar daily variation. This variation is primarily an effect
of enhanced electromagnetic radiation during increased solar activity.
