Precipitation dataset (5 minutes rainfall), 30 long-term stations over the upper Oueme watershed (14 000 km2), Benin
CDS THEIA-OZCAR

Rainfall measurements collected since 1999 (Long Observation Period) by recording raingauges over the Oueme basin (1.4-2.9°E; 8.9-10.2°N). It was designed for a homogeneous coverage of the basin with 29 gages. NB: Negative values are missing values. Negative value other than -9999.9 is missing value estimated from the bucket. For a period with such missing data, although the same value is indicated for each timestep, the value applies to the whole time period.
