| Description du jeu de données | |||
| Résumé | The main objective is to provide accurate maps of precipitation above the Donga catchment for hydrological applications. X-port, high resolution 3D scans, with polarimetric parameters, within the precipitation systems will also provide a useful insight on the physical processes governing the precipitation. | ||
| Strategie d'observation | Volumetric scans of polarimetric data (typical : 10 to 15 PPIs, down in RHI mode, and a revisit time of 5mn). Also fixed vertical sounding (I,Qs series). Polarimetric algorythms and joint radar/gage of precipitation estimate. Comprisons with the 'gage cluster target' situated near Djougou and disdrometer data. | ||

| 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." | ||
