Description du jeu de données | |||
Résumé | Documentation of rainfall in sahelian and saharo-sahelian zones. The aim is to characterize the spatial and temporal variability of rainfall within a densified zone of approximately 0°7 by 0°7 degrees within the Gourma meso-scale site. Data will be used in modelling and assimilation activities, as well as for validation of satellite products. Elaborated product(s): Rainfall maps on a regular grid (0°5x0°5 / 6 hours) over the domain in free access. For higher resolution products, contact PI. | ||
Strategie d'observation | Direct measurements of rainfall thanks to tipping buckets gages. The interception surface for each gage is 400 cm2 , each tip is equivalent to an amount of 0.5 mm of rain. A network of tipping bucket gauges, spread over the Hombori square (0°7x0°7 approximately Rainfall measurements collected since 2005 by recording raingauges deployed in the densified area 1.2-1.9°W / 15-15.7°N, up to 20 gauges. | ||

Information sur l'utilisation des données | |||
Conditions d'utilisation des données | Permission is granted to use these data in research and publications when accompanied by the following statement: "The AMMA-CATCH regional observing system was set up thanks to an incentive funding of the French Ministry of Research that allowed pooling together various pre-existing small scale observing setups. The continuity and long term perenity of the measurements are made possible by an undisrupted IRD funding since 1990 and by a continuous CNRS-INSU funding since 2005." | ||
