a heads up that the tree equity score dataset that we have already loaded into the ETL pipeline has average surface temperature for census block groups and it has tree canopy for large parts of the country
here is a link to a jupyter notebook containing the code we wrote to process landsat tiles to derive surface temperature! It relies on open source libraries and an open dataset! You can use the already processed results in the avg_temp
field on the tree equity score data download.
we've also got code that takes NCLD data and calculates tree canopy data if you would like me to share that as well!
Attached is a document with a number of data sources for consideration to use for the Heat Index. Data Sources for Heat Index #552.docx
Proximity to extreme heat or increasing heat indexes is a risk to public health. The inclusion of a heat index indicator might be useful in identifying prioritized communities. We need to find a reliable source for this data and determine if it can be ingested into the tool in a useful way.
