Magnetic storm effects on the F2-Layer at Ibadan (lat. 7.4-deg N, long. 3.9-deg E, magnetic dip-6 deg S) were, observed over a solar cycle period (1956-1966). During the period of high solar activity, daytime decreases in NmF2 occur during the initial phase of storms. The main and early part of the recovery phases of storms cause either increases or no significant changes in the build-up interval (0500-0900 h LT) of the F2 layer, the increases being usually most frequent during the March equinox season. This same part of the storm causes increases in NmF2 in the daytime (0900-1800 h LT) and nighttime (1800-0800 h LT) intervals at all seasons of the year. Similar effects occur during the period of low solar activity, but on a reduced scale.
