Climate open data gaps due to COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the monitoring and forecasting capacity of the Earth Observing System across the globe. Valuable (open) data on the atmosphere and the oceans is missing due to the pandemic and implemented lockdowns. For example, less data is collected from sensors on commercial airplanes and ships. The data from these sensors would normally be shared with the academic community doing research into climate (e.g. air, water quality) and nature preservation (e.g. biodiversity). The Earth Observing System collaborates with academic institutions, the space satellite industry
European Cyclists’ Federation created an interactive COVID-19 dashboard
