Complex dynamics from radio refractivity gradients over West African sub-Saharan stations: an implication on microwave propagation links

Key Points

• Microwave propagation links are significantly affected by radio refractivity gradients.
• These gradients were documented to alter signal strength projections across multiple stations.
• Observational analysis across various Sub-Saharan locations explores atmospheric conditions affecting radio waves.
• Understanding these dynamics may enhance communication reliability in the region's networking systems.
