Upper Oueme watershed mesoscale site
The Upper Oueme catchment (Benin) is part of the mesoscale observation network of the AMMA-CATCH observatory. Various instruments monitor the water cycle and vegetation dynamics since 1997. Their distribution is shown on the map below. An interactive map of the instrument at different scale is available on the AMMA-CATCH database portal.
