The OFFL/NO2 is a dataset that provides offline high-resolution imagery of **NO2 concentration**.\n\n[Global Forecast System 384-Hour Predicted Atmosphere Data](https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/NOAA_GFS0P25) by NOAA/NCEP/EMC\n&gt; The Global Forecast System (GFS) is a weather forecast model produced by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). The GFS dataset consists of selected model outputs (described below) as gridded forecast variables. The 384-hour forecasts, with 3-hour forecast interval, are made at 6-hour temporal resolution (i.e. updated four times daily).

An advantage of NO2 is that we have access to high resolution remote sensing data, whereas CO2 is difficult to measure via remote sensing.  NO2 is often used as a tracer gas for NO2 because it is difficult to generate NO2 in an urban environment without also generating CO2.  You could also consider looking at NO emissions and SO2 emissions, but we are particularly optimistic about models that are based off of NO2 emissions because we have high resolution remote sensing data that covers the entire globe.</p>",

I am seeing what I believe is a huge disadvantage to NO2 for the island.  I need to do more work but my current conclusion is that urban area NO2 from emissions sources completely hide any power plant effect.  My assumption (yet to be confirmed) is that a high percentage of automobiles on the island are diesel and an annualized image that I generated is best correlated (Mark One Eyeball) to the Google Earth Engine world population data set.  While NO2 makes sense hopefully a model can find the corrections  needed to account for urban emissions not related to power plants.   For sure a machine learning opportunity but the short time scale for the competition makes me pretty sure my weak Python skills will not let me fully execute my theory of the problem.  </p>\n\n<p>Heading to Atlanta for long weekend but will generate a kernel to demonstrate the urban issue when I return middle of the week.  I already have some images from the Google Earth Engine and have struggled over the last hours converting the java scripts that run great on GEE to Python in a Kaggle kernel.  </p>\n\n<p>This is a screen shot of the GEE output and a 2nd with transparency down so you can see the island map.</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://www.googleapis.com/download/storage/v1/b/kaggle-user-content/o/inbox%2F1062256%2F2fcf330b1f531b2c1e208b64add53432%2FPR%20Annualized_transparent.png?generation=1581636674400857&amp;alt=media\" alt=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://www.googleapis.com/download/storage/v1/b/kaggle-user-content/o/inbox%2F1062256%2Fca2b4018fef756879073dfcacfbfdad7%2FPR%20Annualized.png?generation=1581636674590789&amp;alt=media\" alt=\"\"></p>",

I suspect that traffic patterns and energy demands are fairly predictable.

Likewise, it could be informative to identify power plants that went offline during this time period and then to look for any noticeable changes in NO2 emissions.</p>",

It centralizes power plant data to make it easier to navigate, compare and draw insights for one’s own analysis. The database covers approximately 30,000 power plants from 164 countries and includes thermal plants (e.g. coal, gas, oil, nuclear, biomass, waste, geothermal) and renewables (e.g. hydro, wind, solar). Each power plant is geolocated and entries contain information on plant capacity, generation, ownership, and fuel type. It will be continuously updated as data becomes available.\n\n[Sentinel 5P OFFL NO2](https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/COPERNICUS_S5P_OFFL_L3_NO2) by [EU/ESA/Copernicus](https://sentinel.esa.int/web/sentinel/user-guides/sentinel-5p-tropomi/document-library)\n&gt; Sentinel-5 Precursor\nSentinel-5 Precursor is a satellite launched on 13 October 2017 by the European Space Agency to monitor air pollution. The onboard sensor is frequently referred to as Tropomi (TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument). The OFFL/NO2 is a dataset that provides offline high-resolution imagery of **NO2 concentration**.\n\n[Global Forecast System 384-Hour Predicted Atmosphere Data](https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/NOAA_GFS0P25) by NOAA/NCEP/EMC\n&gt; The Global Forecast System (GFS) is a weather forecast model produced by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). The GFS dataset consists of selected model outputs (described below) as gridded forecast variables. The 384-hour forecasts, with 3-hour forecast interval, are made at 6-hour temporal resolution (i.e. updated four times daily). Use the 'creation_time' and 'forecast_time' properties to select data of interest.\n\n[Global Land Data Assimilation System](https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/NASA_GLDAS_V021_NOAH_G025_T3H) by NASA\n&gt; Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) ingests satellite and ground-based observational data products.
