Scientific justification and objectives

The objectives of TT5 are:

to focus on a scientific consistency of the observing strategy on the Ouémé meso-scale site in Benin during the EOP, with respect to the objectives of AMMA detailed on the AMMA-EU and AMMA-API documents
to coordinate the instrument deployment and
to address the associated logistic issues.

These aspects are extended to the Cotonou site.

Some aspects are also relevant to Task team 1 (Radio-soundings), 2a (Fluxes), 6 (oceanic campaigns) and 7, 8, 9 (SOP).

Most of the instruments are deployed on the Upper-Ouémé catchment, (14600 km2, centred on 9,5°N, 2°E), with average yearly rainfall of 1200 mm (one single season). These instruments document processes in the soudano-sahelian domain of the AMMA experiment.
