NASA collaborates with ESA and JAXA to unveil global view of COVID-19 impact

In response to global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, NASA, ESA (European ncy), and JAXA (Japan Aero Exploration ncy) have collaborated to accumulate Earth-observing satellite data to document planet-wide impact of COVID-19 pandemic. three ncies unveiled ir joint COVID-19 Earth Observation Dashboard at a news conference on June 25 that integrates multiple satellite data records with analytical tools to track containment measures to stem spre of coronavirus. 

On Earth, we are connected, Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA's associate ministrator for science, said during news conference, ding, dashboard demonstrates key capability that is important for all se global s of issues.

NASA's new dashboard includes data showing a dip in pollutant emissions due to reduced human activities during pandemic. It also tracks changes in air and water quality, climate change, ecomic activity, and agriculture. With new observations, dashboard would continue to d new data and research as a global ecomy across world resumes.  

“Toger NASA, ESA, and JAXA represent a great human asset: vanced Earth-observing instruments in that are used every day to benefit society and vance kwledge about our home planet,” Zurbuchen said. He ded, “When we began to see from how changing patterns of human activity caused by pandemic were having a visible impact on planet, we knew that if we combined resources, we could bring a powerful new analytical tool to bear on this fast-moving crisis.” 

According to NASA’s press release, ar critical component of atmosphere such as  carbon dioxide CO2 is highlighted in dashboard to probe how global and local reactions to pandemic.  three-month ecomic slowdown has temporarily reduced expected increase in CO2 concentrations by a fraction of a percent, refore, dashboard provides  global-scale, long-term changes in CO2 as observed from  NASA satellite. NASA’s JAXA satellite would observe urban areas such as New York, San Francisco, Tokyo, and Delhi.

Dashboard to monitor any global food crisis

NASA said in release, “Observations from over time of shipping activity in ports, cars parked at shopping centers, and nighttime lights in urban areas can be used as indicators of how specific sectors of ecomy have been affected.” It ded, “Satellite data from each ncy and commercial data purchased by NASA and ESA are presented in dashboard to quantify se changes in Los Angeles; Port of Dunkirk, France; Ghent, Belgium; Beijing, and or locations.” ditionally,  tri-ncy satellite data will detect for signs of changes in agricultural production across countries in world to monitor any global food crisis, disruptions in food supply chain, or availability of labor.
