| Abstract | The study investigate the contribution of low clouds, to signal fade rate, at Ka band in the satellite communication links on earth-space path(s) to NigComSat 2, from three tropical locations in West Africa. Extracted cloud cover statistical data such as average cloud amount, average base height, and frequency of occurrence, were used to obtain the monthly variations and seasonal variations for Lagos (6.55°, 3.35°), Bouake (7.73°, -5.07°) and Bamako (12.53°, -7.95°). Cloud attenuation statistics were computed for each of the three stations for their respective uplink and downlink. The uplink and downlink attenuation ranges between about 0.2 to 1.6 dB and 0.1 to 0.8 dB respectively for Lagos; for Bouake between 0.005 to 0.035 dB and 0.003 to 0.016 dB respectively; finally, for Bamako between about 0.2 to 2 dB and about 0.1 to 1 dB respectively. The stations downlink attenuation sets of values are generally about twice their corresponding uplink attenuation values. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
