Abstract: | From data for the absorption of radio waves at oblique incidence in Lagos, and at vertical incidence at Colombo, the seasonal variation of absorption at the two sites are examined. It is shown that, if subsolar absorption be assumed to depend upon sunspot number, the cos X law gives the same index for both the diurnal and the seasonal variation of absorption. |
