Africa's best Meteorology and Atmospheric Science universities [Rankings]

Below is a list of best universities in Africa ranked based on their research performance in Meteorology and Atmospheric Science. A graph of 2.27M citations received by 125K academic papers made by 259 universities in Africa was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.
