Twinned with Albury across the Murray River, Wodonga shares the wider region's reputation for poor winter air quality, as cold air settles in the river valley and traps wood-heater smoke, while summer can bring bushfire smoke from the nearby alpine ranges. Wodonga's valley-floor position, mirrored by Albury across the river, is a big contributor to both cities' reputation for winter smog, as wood-heater smoke becomes trapped under cold-air inversions overnight, a problem authorities have targeted through heater replacement and education programs in recent years. Dust from the surrounding cleared grazing and cropping plains adds a further, more minor, seasonal factor.

Are air quality levels in Wodonga based on measurements or forecasts?

It is forecasts derived by downscaling forecasts provided by EU’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) by taking into account local conditions such as traffic patterns. CAMS bases its forecast on satellite measurements of particles and chemical compounds in the atmosphere. Airmine’s services were developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team.
