Monitoring of water redistribution and transfert in a sand dune system at different depths along hillslopes by manual measurements performed with portable probes (ML2 and PR2 Delta-T) during intensive field campaigns during the rainy season. Field measurements using the portable probes are performed every 10 to 15 days during the rainy season and every 2 months during the dry season.
-
Rainfall measurements collected since 2003 by a network of daily reading raingauges deployed in the Hombori super site.
-
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 gages). 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.
-
Soil moisture, temperature and succion profiles (0-~3m) along three catenae. Each catena is covered by a different vegetation type : herbaceous fallow (Nalohou), shrub fallow (Bira) and dry forest (Béléfoungou). On each catena, three stations are distributed on top, middle and bottom of a hillslope.
-
Soil moisture and temperature profiles (0- ~5m) in various types of soil/vegetation.
-
Aboveground herbaceous mass, vegetation cover fraction, LAI are monitored in sites located within the Hombori super-site and representatives of the 3 main components of the landscape: sand dunes (Agoufou, Hombori Hondo, Tara and Timbadior), erosion surface (Eguerit), seasonally inundated clay soils (Kelma plain) and millet (Bilantao). For mass estimation, the herbaceous layer is monitored using a stratified random technique. Measurements are performed at least every month during the rainy season, from June to mid-October and twice during the dry season. LAI is estimated using hemispherical photographs. For the Kelma forest, hemispherical photographs are also used to derive the Plant Area Index (PAI).
-
Sensible & latent heat, CO2 fluxes over a specific land cover type (Faidherbia albida agro-silvo-pastoral parkland).
-
Rainfall measurements collected since 2005 (Long Observation Period) by recording raingauges deployed in the densified area : 1.2-1.9°W/15-15.7°N, up to 18 gages. 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.
-
Automatic measurements of water levels in creeks converted into flow.
-
Rainfall measurements collected since 1999 by 5 recording raingauges deployed over the East Niger (Tillaberi, Konni, Tahoua, Maradi, Zinder). 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.
