  abstract = {{W}e investigate a nearly 8-year record (2010-2018) of the superconducting gravimeter {OSG}-060 located at {D}jougou ({B}enin, {W}est {A}frica). {W}e first perform a tidal analysis with {ET}34-{ANA} v7.1 software that leads to the gravimetric amplitude and phase factors for all separable waves according to the available time duration. {W}e test nine different ocean tide models for the main eleven tidal constituents ({S}sa, {M}m, {M}f, {Q}1, {O}1, {P}1, {K}1, {N}2, {M}2, {S}2, {K}2). {A}fter correction for ocean tidal loading we obtain the real and imaginary parts of the residual vector. {W}e also investigate atmospheric loading which is dominated in this equatorial location by the thermal waves {S}1 and {S}2 that are modulated in amplitude by annual and semi-annual components. {A}fter correction for ocean loading, we test different air pressure corrections on the tidal gravimetric factors for the waves {S}a, {S}sa, {S}1 and {S}2. {W}e show the rather large discrepancy that exists between the classical single admittance pressure reduction and a hybrid model using global atmospheric models everywhere except in the local zone where the model pressure is replaced by the observed pressure.},
