Abstract
Averages of tropospheric aerological data have been prepared from an 11-year period of monthly records for eight stations in the west African region. Due to the relatively large seasonal climatic variations within the region, three mean soundings have been presented: one for the entire area, one for the stations situated about 5°N, i.e., within the monsoon belt, and another for stations located approximately 13°–14°N, i.e., within the zone which the low-level ITCZ traverses. Monthly and annual means have been computed for temperature, specific humidity and heights and tabulated against pressure. Based on these averages, major climatological features of the area are discussed.
