Fig. 4.

(a) A comparison between IRI F2-layer thickness parameter (Bo) (right vertical axis, solid curve) and IRI equatorial vertical plasma drift velocity (left vertical axis, dashed curve) for January (upper left), April (upper right), July (lower left) and October (lower right) during low solar minimum conditions. (b) Daytime F2-layer thickness parameter (Bo) measured at Ouagadougou during January (left top), April (right top), July (bottom left) and October (bottom right) for solar minimum conditions of 1994. (c) Same as Fig. 4(b), but for average measured F2-layer bottomside thickness parameter. (Reprinted from J. Atmos. Sol.-Terr. Phys., 60(3), Adeniyi, J. O. and S. M.
