Variation of Meteorological Parameters and their Influence on Tropospheric Surface Radio Refractivity in Minna and Yola, Nigeria
Abstract: The variation of meteorological parameters and their influence on tropospheric surface radio refractivity in Minna (middle belt) and Yola (north east), Nigeria was investigated. The results show that variation of each meteorological parameter (temperature, humidity and pressure) contributed to the diurnal and seasonal variations of tropospheric surface radio refractivity at Minna and Yola. The wet term of refractivity (Nwet) and dry term of refractivity (Ndry), contributed 24% and 76%, respectively …
