| Description du jeu de données | |||
| Résumé | Documentation of rainfall in sahelian and saharo-sahelian zones. The aim is to characterize the temporal and spatial variability along the North-South gradient within the Gourma meso-scale site. Data will be used in modelling and assimilation activities, as well as for validation of satellite products. | ||
| Strategie d'observation | A network of tipping bucket gauges. Rainfall measurements collected since 2005 (Long Observation Period) by recording raingauges deployed along a north south transect (from 14.7 to 17° N, up to 10 gauges). 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. | ||

| 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." | ||
