AOC-HYCOS
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
Systeme d'Observation du Cycle Hydrologique de l'Afrique de l'Ouest et Centrale - Hydrologic Cycle Observation System for West and Central Africa (AOS-HYCOS) AOC-HYCOS was established as a pilot project in 1999.
Description
Temperature, humidity, daily and monthly rain fall data are available for West and Central Africa in addition to a map of precipitation averages for West and Central Africa from 1951 to 1989. The Hydrologic Regional Observatory collects data from Hydrologic platforms equipped with transmission devices (ARGOS and Meteosat) in the West and Central Africa.
The station at Chari N'Djamena is equipped with a METEOSAT transmission. This is a standard HYCOS model and similar to the MED_Hycos equipment. Data is received every 3 hours by the SRDM (Station de Reception Directe Meteosat) at the observatory in Ouagadougou.

Data, such as water, air and soil temperature, water level, rain fall are collected. Only data from the last 7 days are online. Historical data can be obtained from the Observatory by contacting Michel Gautier at gautier@ouaga.orstom.bf.
Participating countries are: Burkina Cap-Vert Gambia Ghana Guinea Mali Mauritania Niger Nigeria Senegal Chad This information was obtained and translated from French to English from the AOC-HYCOS web site at "aochycos.ird.ne/". The web site is available in French.
