Abstract

A Preliminary result of the measurement of radio meteorological parameters for the profiling of radio refractivity over Akure Nigeria is presented One year January-December 2018 data of temperature pressure and relative humidity were collected for ground surface and heights of 50 100 150 and 200 m respectively from the ongoing measurement of the parameters by Communication Physics Research Group of the Federal University of Technology Akure Nigeria From the data collected radio refractivity N were computed and correlation of N with temperature was evaluated Results showed that the mean value of surface refractivity obtained during this period of study is 365 N-units while that at the elevated altitudes are 362 359 357 and 354 N-units respectively It was also deduced that radio refractivity decrease with an increase in height and its values were generally higher during the rainy season April - October than in the dry season months November -March Correlation between N and temperature was high during the wet season and low during the dry season
