TEMBO Africa
Transformative Environmental Monitoring to Boost Observations in Africa
Our Objectives
Our ambition is to close the environmental in situ data gap in Africa. To fulfill this ambition our general objective is to have cost-effective innovative sensor networks that can be financed by the climate services we develop using these sensors. First, we build on recent sensor technology to make measurements cost-efficient. Then, applications are developed that generate large socio-economic value in the fields of geo-hazards, water management, and agricultural information
What We Offer

SNAPSHOTS FROM THE FIELD
TEMBO Africa in summary:
Reuse as much as possible existing software platforms, avoiding inefficient use of resources, making use of the advantages of what is there (robust data flows in AgroApps platform; controlled data access and visualisation in TWIGA platform, etc.)
Use data standards from the Open Geospatial Consortium, to ensure easy data exchange with GEOSS and Copernicus
Use standard APIs and formats to develop scalable and modular Lego®-like elements for all services.
