Societal challenges
This use case addresses three key societal challenges:
- Disaster risk: CASEarth provides high resolution (8 m) satellite data and radiation satellite images for the simulation of tsunami, hurricane, earthquakes,
typhoons, floods and extreme weather. - Smart City: ESA and CSTCloud provide high resolution data and sensor data for the city of Shenzhen in Guangzhou province, China.
- Precision Medicine: Beijing Institute of Genomics (BIG) provides datasets for analysing genetic make up of diseases.
Technical challenges
This early adopter aims to allow researchers from Africa and China to use EOSC services on top of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CNIC) resources.
How EOSC can help and add value
This use case was facilitated by the EOSC-hub project via the following services: EGI Check-in, OCRE, OPENCoasT, DMCC, AGROS, WRF 4DVAR.
Specific steps:
- Access resources and migration on the CSTCloud
- Integrate EGI Check-in service
- Install and test the pilot use cases
- Taiwan Typhoon forecasting with the WRF 4DVAR service, precision medicine using Elixir tools, Smart City application for storm surge and disaster damage assessment of ShenZhen
- Use cases in production
