Rainfall measurements collected over a network of daily reading raingauges, installed on a square of 10 km X 10 km (6 East-West lines of 10 km each, separated by 2 km from each other) located at the center of the Diantandou kori basin. The network is installed through a catena from the bottom of Dantiandou kori valley (Banizoumbou) to the Bani Kossey depression (10 km). The network is visited each day to record previous rainfall.

Meteorological variables (air pressure, air temperature, humidity, wind, long and shortwave radiative budget) at the Ragola station.

Piezometric surveys in domestic wells in villages or dedicated to pastoral use, where manual measurements are made with commercial luminous probe (OTT, 100 m in length) every month for seasonal and long term mesoscale groundwater balance surveys. The water table level values are expressed from the edge of the well. A value = 9999 stands for a dry well.

Limnimetric surveys in seasonal, natural ponds with manual (visual) measurements coupled with data loggers. The manual measurements are made on metric scale bars with a frequency of twice a month during the rainy season to once a month during the dry season. As the scale bars are not always matched to zero, water level values from these gauges need to be readjusted taking into account the lowest value read on the scale bars (please consult the specific metadata of each station (list of properties)).

Soil moisture and temperature profiles at Niakhar site (Ragola station), an Agro-silvo-pastoral station.

Rainfall measurements collected between 1990-2004 (EPSAT project) by up to ~100 recording raingauges to complement and densify the meso site network (CL.Rain_N). NB: Negative values are missing values. Negative value other than -9999.9 is missing value estimated from the bucket. For a period with such missing data, although the same value is indicated for each timestep, the value applies to the whole time period.

Rainfall measurements collected over a network of daily reading raingauges located in the Tondikiboro and Mele Haoussa intensive local sites.

Sensible & latent heat, CO2 and radiation fluxes over a specific land cover type (Agro-silvo-pastoral station).

Flood event measured in 4 (Tondikiboro) and 2 (Mele Haoussa) embeded catchments. Sediment loads are sampled during selected rainfall events in Tondikiboro.

Long term rainfall measurements collected since 1990 (Long Observation Period) by 30 recording raingauges over the Niamey meso site (1.6-3.1°E/12.8-14.1°N) with a regular sampling of about 25x25 km². NB: Negative values are missing values. Negative value other than -9999.9 is missing value estimated from the bucket. For a period with such missing data, although the same value is indicated for each timestep, the value applies to the whole time period.
