GloFAS Flood Forecast Map Layers (WMS Catalogue)

glofas/layers

The layer catalogue of the Global Flood Awareness System (GloFAS) web map service: about 70 named layers such as flood hazard return periods, reporting points, alert levels, seasonal outlooks, rainfall and soil moisture, each with title, abstract, whether it can be queried, geographic bounding box and time extent. Use the names to build map requests against the service. Takes no input. GloFAS data, made available under CC BY 4.0 by ECMWF, reduced from the 147 KB capabilities XML to a JSON layer list and served by Eden Engine; not an official ECMWF or Copernicus product.

// 1. search: find the tool
omnial_search({ query: "what you need" })

// 2. inspect: price and input schema
omnial_inspect({ tool: "glofas/layers" })

// 3. learn: read the usage guide at runtime
omnial_learn({ tool: "glofas/layers" })

// 4. run: price the exact call first, then run it
omnial_execute({ tool: "glofas/layers", input: { /* see input_schema */ }, dry_run: true })
omnial_execute({ tool: "glofas/layers", input: { /* ... */ } })

// 5. settle: the call is charged when it finishes, nothing to do
