Deployed on AWS
This dataset contains soil infrared spectral data and paired soil property
reference measurements for georeferenced soil samples that were collected
through the Africa Soil Information Service (AfSIS) project, which lasted
from 2009 through 2018. In this release, we include data collected during
Phase I (2009-2013.) Georeferenced samples were collected from 19 countries
in Sub-Saharan African using a statistically sound sampling scheme,
and their soil properties were analyzed using *both* conventional soil
testing methods and spectral methods (infrared diffuse reflectance
spectroscopy). The two types of data can be paired to form a training
dataset for machine learning, such that certain soil properties can be
well-predicted through less expensive spectral techniques.

Digital Earth Africa (DE Africa) provides free and open access to a copy of the Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station data (CHIRPS) monthly and daily products over Africa. The CHIRPS rainfall maps are produced and provided by the Climate Hazards Center in collaboration with the US Geological Survey, and use both rain gauge and satellite observations.
The CHIRPS-2.0 Africa Monthly dataset is regularly indexed to DE Africa from the CHIRPS monthly data. The CHIRPS-2.0 Africa Daily dataset is likewise indexed from the CHIRPS daily data. Both products have been converted to cloud-opitmized GeoTIFFs, and can be accessed through DE Africa’s Open Data Cube. This means the full archive of CHIRPS daily and monthly rainfall can be easily used for inspection or analysis across DE Africa platforms, including the user-interactive DE Africa Map.
For more information on the dataset, see the CHIRPS website.
