Short summary
Passive electromagnetic induction soundings in the far field live on the fact that natural electromagnetic field variations (their source signals) fulfill the plane-wave assumption. In the frequency range of geomagnetic pulsations some signals (upstream waves) do and others (field line resonances) do not meet this condition. The consequences for several branches of such soundings are shown. A consequence is that a remote reference site may be situated in another continent than the local site.
