Developing a web application based on ECMWF Data Store to generate forecast maps of Meningitis outbreak risk levels in Africa.

Posted on by

Tutors: Prof. Maria Brovelli and Dr.Daniele Oxoli

Type: Geoinformatics Projects

Keywords: Vigilance Maps, Meningitis outbreaks, web-application

Technologies to be used:
– Development Framework: React Native
– Programming Languages: JavaScript
– Tools/APIs: Google Earth Engine (GEE), CDS API, GEE API

Description:

The goal of the project is to create a web-application for predicting Meningitis outbreaks in Sub-Saharan Africa. The platform will use ECMWF’s mid-range weather forecasts and NASA’s GEOS-CF atmospheric composition forecasts. By analysing variables like temperature, humidity, and dust concentration, the platform should automatically generate risk maps every five days, aiding public health officials in proactive decision-making and resource allocation.
