As regional climate systems are playing an essential role in the global equilibrium of the planet and are conditioning the living conditions of the populations inhabiting the inter-tropical belt, the monsoons are a privileged subject of study at the intersection of several disciplinary fields. This is especially true for the West African monsoon (WAM) associated with a severe drought for the past 30 years, with significant consequences for key resources as water, agriculture, and health. 2, record 1, English, - West%20African%20monsoon%20system

Another reason to believe the spacecraft experienced high body rates is that the gyros-all three axes independently-were found in Whole Angle Mode (WAM) when the spacecraft was recovered. This mode is entered when the gyro's normal strap-down mode (a locked force-to-rebalance loop) cannot be maintained; this occurs when body rates exceed about 11°/s ... 2, record 3, English, - whole%20angle%20mode
