             abstract = "The rate of change of the geomagnetic field (dB/dt) observed at 
                         Earth's surface has been used as a proxy of geomagnetically 
                         induced currents, which are known to be hazardous for grounded 
                         technological systems such as high-voltage power grid systems. The 
                         dB/dt rates have been well characterized in the high latitude 
                         region (\≳60°), but much less information is available for 
                         the low latitudes to date. To overcome this limitation, we have 
                         examined dB/dt rates on the H component of the geomagnetic field 
                         as measured by an array of stations operated by the EMBRACE 
                         Magnetometer Network in Brazil. The main focus is to characterize 
                         dB/dt occurrence at very low latitudes (\≲22°) of the 
                         Brazilian peculiar territory, whose magnetic measurements are 
                         influenced by the equatorial electrojet and the presence of the 
                         South Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly (SAMA). The period investigated is 
                         from 2021 to 2022, over the ascending phase of the solar cycle 25. 
                         The statistical analysis demonstrates that dB/dt peak magnitudes 
                         are generally below 0.5 nT/s during magnetic storms, and exhibit a 
                         dependence on the solar cycle for the station near the center of 
                         the SAMA. However, we obtain for a particular case in 2021 that 
                         dB/dt reached 1.35 nT/s in magnitude at the magnetic equator 
                         during daytime, which is a significant value even for higher 
                         latitudes. A case study of the induced geoelectric fields during 
                         this event shows that the conductivity structure beneath two 
                         compared sites plays a major role in the amplitude of such fields 
                         than dB/dt amplitude. Also, the MLT distributions of dB/dt 
                         indicate that ultra-low frequency waves can be a major source of 
                         these signals in lower latitudes.",
