Summary In addition to the magnetovariational measurements across an array in Western Bohemia, close to the KTB ultradeep borehole (Germany), discussed in part I of this paper [1], magnetotelluric results from pivot sounding point Ostrůvek within the array are presented here. Good quality of long-period magnetotelluric data (period range from 30 s to about 1 hour) allowed structural dimensionality of the medium to be analysed in detail. The geoelectrical structure was identified as a slightly distorted two-dimensional regional substratum, with dominating E - W strike, overlaid by a heterogeneous subsurface layer with extremely strong and anisotropic galvanic distortion effect on the magnetotelluric data. Estimating the total static shift distortion tensor by fitting the local magnetotelluric curve to the curve of the global magnetovariational soundings (for the European continent), the static distortions were identified as of generally multidirectional origin. The resulting telluric ellipse is, however, strongly anisotropic, indicating an approximately SW - NE apparent local strike, which is in the approximate agreement with remote reference magnetovariational results. Finally, the magnetotelluric results from the station Ostrůvek are compared with long-period data from the immediate neighbourhood of the KTB borehole on the German territory.
