Satellite Data Assimilation for COVID19 | An Integrated Assessment

An Integrated Assessment

Your challenge is to integrate various Earth Observation-derived features with available socio-economic data in order to discover or enhance our understanding of COVID-19 impacts.

Satellite Data Assimilation for COVID-19 Prediction

Summary

We constructed an intermediate infection model and estimated its parameters based on national census data provided by Oxford University. We further investigated relationships between estimated parameters and environments. The results imply that the COVID-19 is risker in windy & wetter countries.

How We Addressed This Challenge

Data Assimilation, a kind of optimization method, was used to estimate important parameters.

How We Developed This Project

We coded algorihms together.

Project Demo

Our infection model is applicable to project infected people in future.  

Data & Resources

JRA55 (Japan Reanalysis over 55 years)
