The Challenge | Surface-to-Air (Quality) Mission

Your challenge is to integrate NASA data, ground-based air quality data, and citizen science data to create an air quality surface that displays the most accurate data for a location and time. Create algorithms that select or weight the best data from several sources for a specific time and location, and display that information.

Data framework and actual air quality related data analysis

Multipurpose data framework development to help comfortably aggregate various data sources including, but not limited to, air quality related data sources

As people interested in data processing and data, in general, we decided to proceed with this challenge to see what we can do with NASA data sources regarding pollution and air quality.

Gintautas - data engineer

Algirdas - visualizations

Dominykas - data transformations and algorithms

Ultimate project goal is to have a universal data framework and even some very scientific things built on top of it, like correlation coefficients calculation between any two features or time series forecasting/interpolation capabilities. Because IT MATTERS! Having quality framework you can extract value out of data so much faster (illustration of blended data sources on the map)

We quite quickly realized that our main sources of data are "AERONET" and "POWER Data Access Viewer" and did some data engineering magic described there https://github.com/Rayvid/nasa-data/blob/master/README.md
