Abstract

This study examined diurnal and seasonal variability in secondary weather parameters-refractivity, refractivity gradient, k-factor, and field strength-over Ogbomoso, Nigeria. Results showed significant diurnal variations, with maximum refractivity of 375 N units and k-factor of 1.48 in the early hours, indicating a super refractive atmosphere affecting radio signal propagation.
