EWX SNIPPETS: DISPLAY AN AUTO-UPDATED MAP OF OUR DATA ON YOUR WEBSITE


INTRODUCTION:

Snippets are easy-to-embed interactive maps of Geospatial Data. Snippets access
the Climate Hazards Center Geospatial Data Store-most commonly used in the Early
Warning eXplorer. The CHC maintains extensive data stores that can be easily
accessed and regularly updated.


The Climate Hazards Center, as a part of FEWS NET, has vast information stored
in the GeoEngine and Early Warning eXplorer. And yet, the most important
decisions are local. The Snippets were developed to allow national,
meteorological, hydrological, and agricultural agencies to easily set up
localized web-mapping services. We hope that Snippets can help inform proactive
decisions that enhance resilience.


Snippets are a free, publicly accessible way to display maps from our Early
Warning Explorer (EWX) online application on your own webpage.


EXAMPLES

Below is an example of a Snippet map highlighting Zimbabwe with the latest
CHIRPS-GEFs data set.


CHIRPS-compatible GEFS precipitation forecasts for anticipating flood and
drought hazards (CHIRPS-GEFS):


CHIRPS-GEFS is a bias-corrected and downscaled version of NCEP Global Ensemble
Forecast System ( GEFS) version 12 precipitation forecasts made to be spatially
compatible with Climate Hazards Center InfraRed Precipitation with Stations
(CHIRPS) data. The CHIRPS-GEFS data set provides next 5-day to 15-day
precipitation forecasts, updated daily, at a spatial resolution of ~5 km across
the globe.
