In this article, the spatial and temporal scale down to the weather station of Linguère and analyses the benefits of daily rainfall data compared to annual sums are analyzed for the West African Sahel region.Abstract:
Introduction: In the 20th century, the West African Sahel has been a hot-spot of climatic changes. After severe drought-events in the 1970s and 1980s which were followed by a significant drop in annual precipitation, rainfall seems to increase again during the past years. This study breaks the spatial and temporal scale down to the weather-station of Linguère and analyses the benefits of daily rainfall data compared to annual sums.read more

Local Vegetation Trends in the Sahel of Mali and Senegal Using Long Time Series FAPAR Satellite Products and Field Measurement (1982–2010)
TL;DR: This confirms the re-greening of the Sahel, however, degradation is also present and sometimes obscured by greening, and GEOV1 as compared to GIMMS3g made it possible to better characterize the spatial pattern of trends and identify the degraded areas in the study region.
