Nephele Open Call 1
(May 2024 – October 2024, 6 months)

AGORA’ is a solution designed to optimize irrigation procedures. At the project’s core is CRITERIA, an open-source, agro-hydrological model that simulates one-dimensional water flow in variable saturation soils, crop development, root water extraction, and irrigation water needs. AGORA’ provides irrigation advice for the next few days by integrating CRITERIA with real-time data coming from sensors and weather services. The scope of this proposal is to integrate and extend the current solution with the NEPHELE software stack. In practice, we want to integrate the CRITERIA model into a CVO and feed sensor and web services data using VOs. The integration provides the foundation for extending the solution with other sensor solutions (like Cosmic Ray Neutron Sensors and satellite observations).
