摘　　要：Critical frequency foF2 long-term trends at Dakar station (14.4°N, 342.74°E) located near the crest of the equatorial ionization anomaly EIA, are analysed taking into account geomagnetic activity, increasing greenhouse gases concentration and Earth’s magnetic field secular variation. After filtering solar activity effect using F10.7 as a solar activity proxy, we determined the relative residual trends slopes <i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">α</span></i><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> values for three different levels of geomagnetic activity. For example, at 1200 LT, the value of </span><i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">α</span></i><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> goes from &#45</span><span>0</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">.27%/year for very magnetically quiet days to <span style="font-family:Verdana;white-space:normal;">-</span>0.19%/year for magnetically quiet days and to <span style="font-family:Verdana;white-space:normal;">-</span>0.13%/year for all days. It appears from the slopes </span><i><span style="font-family:Verdana;">α</span></i><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> obtained, that they increase with the level of geomagnetic activity and their negative values are qualitatively consistent with the expected decreasing trend due to the increase in greenhouse gases concentration but are greater than 0.003%/year which would result from a 20% increase in CO</span>_{<span style="font-family:Verdana;">2</span>}<span style="font-family:Verdana;"> emissions which actually took place during the analysis period.
