Enhancing climate resilience: A data-driven north rift weather prediction system for real-time forecasting and agricultural decision support by John W. Makokha, Peter W. Barasa, Geoffrey W. Khamala

“…This study presents the development and integration of predictive models for the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Bare Soil Index (BSI) using the XGBoost algorithm within the North Rift Weather Prediction System (NRWPS) to enhance ecosystem monitoring in Kenya's North Rift region. Trained on a comprehensive dataset spanning 1995 to 2020, which includes precipitation (from the Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station data (CHIRPS)), temperature (TerraClimate), historical NDVI (Landsat 4–5 Thematic Mapper (from 1995 to 2013) and Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper plus (ETM+) (from 2014 to 2020)), and BSI (SoilGrids) data, the models effectively capture the complex relationships between environmental factors and vegetation health. …”
