Surface flux dataset (including meteorological data, surface energy, water vapor, and carbon fluxes) in the Niakhar site (Ragola station), Senegal

Measure components of the local-scale energy budget. Obtain forcing and validation data for modeling of soil-vegetation-atmosphere exchanges in Sahel. Contribute to the flux station network over the AMMA regional transect. This dataset is part of the AMMA-CATCH eco-hydrological observatory over West Africa Sensible & latent heat, CO2 and radiation fluxes over a specific land cover type (Agro-silvo-pastoral station).
