During the IGY-IGC years of 1957 1959, Prof . K . R . Ramanathan ( a past Director of Colaba-Alibag ), strongly advocated the setting up of magnetic observatories to examine the equatorial electrojet.

Okeke has dedicated much of her career to studying the ionosphere and the equatorial electrojet phenomenon . Energized by the sun, the electrojet is a river of electric current that traverses the globe eastward around the dip equator and causes the magnetic field at the dip equator to vary almost fives time more than anywhere else on the planet . ( The dip or magnetic equator differs from the equator by a few degrees, as the Earth s magnetic north pole is different from what we generally think of as the north pole .)
