The participating towns in this effort included Grafton, Holden, Leicester, Millbury, Shrewsbury, West Boylston, and the City of Worcester. This file is no longer updated and is categorized as a legacy dataset.Serology vs Antibody testing: Serology testing looks for the presence of COVID-19 antibodies in the bloodstream which means the person has been exposed to the virus about 2 weeks or more before the test.Date fields: Date fields are displayed in the table with data type string. The string data type is typically used to represent text. All date information is accurate but will sort as text in the online table. Use the download feature if you would like to sort by date.

Heat islands are areas where temperatures are unnaturally high - usually due to dense buildings, expansive hard surfaces, or a lack of tree cover or greenspace. People living in these communities are exposed to more dangerous conditions, especially as daytime high and nighttime low temperatures increase over time. NOAA Climate Program Office and CAPA Strategies have partnered with cities around the United States to map urban heat islands. Using Sentinel-2 satellite thermal data along with on-the-ground sensors, air temperature and heat indexes are calculated for morning, afternoon, and evening time periods. The NOAA Visualization Lab, part of the NOAA Satellite and Information Service, has made the original heat mapping data available as dynamic image services. Dataset SummaryPhenomenon Mapped: air temperatureUnits: degrees Fahrenheit Cell Size: 30 metersPixel Type: 32 bit floating pointData Coordinate Systems: WGS84 Mosaic Projection: WGS84 Extent: cities within the United StatesSource: NOAA and CAPA StrategiesPublication Date: September 20, 2021 What can you do with this layer?This imagery layer supports communities' UHI spatial analysis and mapping capabilities. The symbology can be manually changed, or a processing template applied to the layer will provide a custom rendering. Each city can be queried. Related layers include Morning Air Temperature and Evening Air Temperature.
