Description: Lunar magnetometer data was used to indicate a lunar thermal boundary layer which is no more than 200 km thick and a lunar interior which is relatively isothermal. A direct comparison of temperature profiles with the experimental observations is used. It is assumed that the significant variation in lunar electrical conductivity is due to temperature alone and that it may be written in exponential form with a fixed and unknown activation energy and normalization constant. Experimental values of the lunar transfer function compared to theoretical curves generated by several temperature profiles show a significant temperature gradient only in the very outer portion of the moon. The steep curve of the variation of the transfer function with frequency implies an increase in electrical conductivity of no more than one order of magnitude with a depth between 1565 and 1000 km.
