@Roshan_George_SafeGraph I’m posting a link to a google drive folder where I maintain two aggregated weather datasets:

  1. Census Block Group
  2. County

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1wZXBrqw9uE2JorzQThKpktO_l1XGlzLT

Both datasets contain:

| variable   | description                         | units     |
+------------+-------------------------------------+-----------+
| precip     | daily precipitation                 | mm        |
+------------+-------------------------------------+-----------+
| rmax       | maximum daily relative humidity     | %         |
+------------+-------------------------------------+-----------+
| rmin       | minimum daily relative humidity     | %         |
+------------+-------------------------------------+-----------+
| srad       | surface downwelling solar radiation | W/m^2     |
+------------+-------------------------------------+-----------+
| tmax       | maximum daily temperature           | degrees F |
+------------+-------------------------------------+-----------+
| tmin       | minimum daily temperature           | degrees F |
+------------+-------------------------------------+-----------+
| wind_speed | mean daily wind speed               | mph       |
+------------+-------------------------------------+-----------+```
The folder contains a readme with more information.  Let me know if there are any problems or inconsistencies.  Thanks!

@Jude_Bayham_Colorado_State_U have you looked into analyzing the impact of different weather measures on movement?

Yes, but more as controls in policy impact models

any documentation of regression coefficients you can quickly share?

On a call right now, but will respond in a bit

Hey @Jude_Bayham_Colorado_State_U, checking back in on this – we’re starting to explore this data in more detail. @Julia_Wagenfehr_Stanford

@Derek_Ouyang_Stanford Sorry for the delay. I simply forgot. Here are a series of linear models estimated using county aggregates of SG median home dwell time and corresponding weather. The dependent variable in all models is home time. I’ll also post summary stats

easier to read

Note, that the temperature coefficient is Kelvin here. This variable is max daily temperature. We are also using max daily humidity

Thanks @Jude_Bayham_Colorado_State_U! We’ll followup with further questions/thoughts

cc: @Roshan_George_SafeGraph and @ross_epstein_safegraph these sets can be added too
