Abstract

In thisdataarticle,analysisofsurfacewatervapourdensityin Southeast, Nigeriawerereported.Themeteorologicaldatawere obtained fortheperiodof39yearsbetween1973and2012from National OceanicandAtmosphericAdministration(NOAA)Clima- tology Centre.Fivestationsconsideredintheresearcharea includes: Enugu,Onitsha,Abakaliki,AbaandIhiala.Descriptive statistics wereusedtoshowanincreaseinmonthlyvariationof surface watervapourdensity(SWVD)minimumvalueofabout 7.15g/m3 at EnuguinJanuarytomaximumvalueofabout21.96g/ m3 at OnitshainApril.Hence,theseasonalvariationforSouthEast indicate peakvaluewithinthemonthsofMarchtoMayinthe rainyseasonandalowervaluearoundDecembertoFebruary which isthedryseason.Theresultsfromthisdatawillhelp engineers inproperdesignandplanningofradiowavepropagation and satellitecommunicationsystemsinsoutheastern,Nigeria.
