at 0000 UTC for case studies.
| Stations | Study case | Stratification of | characterization |
| Continental (Niamey) | 08/25/06 at 0000 UTC | 0–180 m | unstable layer | 180–300 m | stable layer | 300–1000 m | unstable layer | 1000–1800 m | neutral layer |
| Coastal (Dakar) | 08/18/06 at 0000 UTC | 0–380 m | unstable layer | 380–580 m | stable layer | 580–840 m | unstable layer | 840–1400 m | stable layer | 1400–2000 m | unstable layer |
