HAPEX-Sahel was funded by a wide range of agencies in seven participating countries. Over 200 scientists visited and worked in the field site. An interdisciplinary approach has been adopted with contributed studies in hydrology and soil moisture, surface fluxes and vegetation, remote sensing science, and meteorology and mesoscale modelling. A longer description of the experience may be readen in What is HAPEX?. "http://www.ird.fr/hapex/htdocs/whatis.htm" An information system (HSIS) has been established to provide a data base to diseminate the measurements. A Data Policy rules the data dissemination.
