The F2-layer propagation factor M(3000)F2 is important to ionospheric studies owning to its use in HF radio communication/ionospheric modelling. This study focused on reducing the shortcomings in the use of M(3000)F2 IRI-model for obtaining hmF2, especially in the African equatorial region, by obtaining an empirical ‘constructed model’ (M(3000)F2_CM ) using the Korhogo (geomag. lat. 1.26°S, long. 67.38°E, dip.-0.67⁰S) data (M(3000)F2_KOR). The data spans 8 years (1993-2000) under magnetically quiet conditions (Ap< 20nT). The Regression method technique was used in obtaining the M(3000)F2_CM. The M(3000)F2_KOR results revealed that low solar activity (LSA) years have predominantly higher magnitudes than high solar activities (HSA) for all seasons, revealing solar activity dependence. The regression coefficient (R²) for the M(3000)F2_KOR versus F10.7 relationship was stronger during the solstices. The associated diurnal equations obtained for all seasons from the regression plot of the M(3000)F2_KOR-F10.7 relationship were used to obtained the constructed model equation given by , which allows the prediction of diurnal, seasonal and solar cycle variation of the M(3000)F2 parameter. M(3000)F2_CM predicted well when tested at different solar activities. Generally, M(3000)F2_CM performed reasonably well in comparison with the IRI model (M(3000)F2_IRI) when validated with Ouagadougou (lat. 0.59°S, long. 71.46°E) observed data - M(3000)F2_OUA. The %deviation of M(3000)F2_CM versus M(3000)F2_OUA during HSA and LSA ranges from -10.8- 5.3/-7.6 - 15.8 for solstices/equinoxes; whereas %deviation of M(3000)F2_IRI versus M(3000)F2_OUA spans -15.5 - 9.2 and -9.7 - 17.7 in similar order of seasons. These results suggest that the new model has a measure of potential for its use in the equatorial region.
