NAMMA SENEGAL RAIN GAUGE NETWORK V1

The NAMMA Senegal Rain Gauge Network consisted of 40 rain gauge sites (AMMA 1-40) located in various places throughout Senegal, West Africa. These data files were generated during support of the NASA African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analyses (NAMMA) campaign, a field research investigation sponsored by the Science Mission Directorate of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This mission was based in the Cape Verde Islands, 350 miles off the coast of Senegal in west Africa. Commencing in August 2006, NASA scientists employed surface observation networks and aircraft to characterize the evolution and structure of African Easterly Waves (AEWs) and Mesoscale Convective Systems over continental western Africa, and their associated impacts on regional water and energy budgets. The Rain Gauge Network consisted of the large-scale rain gauge network. The rain gauges collected one-minute accumulation data. The location and photos of each site can be found in an accompanying PDF document: NAMMA_Raingauge_network.pdf.

NAMMA 塞内加尔雨量计网络由40个位于西非塞内加尔不同地区的雨量计站点（AMMA 1-40）组成。这些数据文件是在支持美国国家航空航天局（NASA）非洲季风多学科分析（NAMMA）行动计划期间生成的，该行动计划是一项由NASA科学任务局资助的现场研究调查。该任务以佛得角群岛为基地，位于西非塞内加尔海岸350英里处。自2006年8月开始，NASA科学家利用地表观测网络和飞机对西非大陆性东风波（AEWs）和中尺度对流系统（MCS）的演变和结构进行表征，并研究其与区域水资源和能量预算相关的效应。雨量计网络包括大规模雨量计网络。雨量计收集了一分钟的累积数据。每个站点的位置和照片可在随附的PDF文档中找到：NAMMA_Raingauge_network.pdf。
