Abstract :
Average monthly values of surface refractivity for 48 locations in Egypt are presented. These locations are grouped into nine different regions of similar climatic and topographic characteristics. The general trend in the variation of the monthly average refractivity and the spread between maximum and minimum monthly values are reported.
