Climatic signatures in the COVID19 pandemic

Code and analysis for the manuscript "Climatic signatures in the different COVID-19 pandemic waves across both hemispheres""

Reproducibility

To be able to reproduce the experiments, you will need to have Python 3.8 installed. We have used poetry as a dependency manager, so as to install the dependencies pinned at the same versions we used, just run:

poetry install

In case you don't have poetry installed in your system, you can install it via pip:

pip install poetry

To enter into the poetry virtual environment, just run

poetry shell

In case that you don't have poetry in your system and would rather keep it that way, you can install the dependencies via pip by using the requirements.txt file included:

 pip install -r requirements.txt

Project structure

The folder is organized like the following:

.
├── code
│   ├── notebooks
│   └── src
├── data
│   ├── covid19
│   ├── density_grid
│   ├── era5
│   ├── intermediate_files
│   ├── process_based_model
│   └── shapes
└── results
    ├── figures
    └── tables

The code is organized in two folders:

• src: which acts as a python module from which we can import auxiliary functions and classes.

• notebooks: which contains the actual experiments. They should be ran top to bottom. In certain cases, they include quite computationally expensive, and some pre-processed files are already included in the data/ folder so that these can be skipped. The data sources used by these notebooks are stored in the data folder (or come from API calls directly in the code) and the results generated by the notebooks are stored in the results folder in figures or tables depending on the format.
