Summary The propagation of electromagnetic waves in a two-layer anisotropic earth from an oscillating vertical electric dipole placed over it has been studied. Formal expression for the vector potential in the top layer has been determined for the general case when both the layers are electrically anisotropic. The conductivity and the permittivity tensors of the layers are assumed to have simple diagonal forms. Three special cases of practical interest have been considered in detail, for which the results are given in terms of tabulated functions. It has been shown that at the surface of the earth, only the electric field components are influenced by the anisotropy.
