2026 Week 31

Metadata

Updated hourly_value_as_daily method name to point_estimate to be more generic.

Timeseries processing pipeline

All COSMOS VWC calcualtions have now been implemented! This is a very big milestone! These are now deployed in the UI. Some SWI, SMI and depth calculations remain.

Public UI

Plenty of changes have been done to the UI, with some in the individual tools themselves, and others on the landing and learn about pages. Here are the main updates:

• FDRI Digital Platform now appears on the logo across all pages
• Added Gridded Data service and LiDAR service landing and learn about pages
• Added FAQ page
• Users can now specify network and site in the URL for the timeseries explorer as another way to select network/sites.
• Tooltips styling have now been made consistent across the UI

We are now working on a feedback page and content for data stories.

Ingestion

The EA and SEPA workflows have recently been separated into their own networks with their own metadata in the metadata store. This means some changes were required across our ingestion services, the API, the infrastructure and the UI to get them viewable within the UI. Additionally, a new 15 minute rainfall ingester has been deployed. To come will be a 15minute level EA ingester, a daily rainfall EA ingester and a 15minute flow SEPA ingester.

Spatial API and UI

We now have spatial data in the production UI, for example https://dri-ui.dri.ceh.ac.uk/fdri/spatial?layers=3,26,23,21,2

In addition, a number of extra features have also been added, including the ability to show / hide the list of selected layers, modify the icon size for point based layers, expand the map to fill the screen and show/hide the legend panel. FDRI styling has also been applied to the UI
