Magnetotelluric data from measurements conducted on the SW part of the Baltic Shield are analyzed with respect to crustal and upper mantle structures. The interpretations have been done using ordinary 2-D and transverse anisotropic layered models in which distortions of the impedance tensors due to near-surface electrical structures are included in the interpretation procedures. The anisotropic model is able to explain the gross features of the data, whereas the 2-D model only displays features observed at long periods. The 2 main results from the study with anisotropic models are the interpretation of a possible transverse anisotropic lower crust and a depth to the uppermost conductive layer within the mantle of more than 200 km. The minimum depth to the conductive mantle layer is found from a most squares analysis.
