When is air pollution at its worst in Lienz?
Lienz's air quality is at its worst on still winter mornings, when vehicle traffic and winter tourism settle beneath the valley's typical inversion. A Föhn event can clear the air dramatically at any time of year, and summer otherwise brings decent dispersion apart from the odd ozone peak. Spring and autumn tend to be steadier.
Are air quality levels in Lienz 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.
