Lochau's air quality benefits from its position on the Bodensee shore in the Austrian Vorarlberg, with consistent lake breezes from Lake Constance providing reliable ventilation across this compact lakeside municipality. The surrounding Alpine foothills and the Rhine valley to the east create topographic variation, while vehicle traffic on the B190 and cross-border commuter flow from the broader Bodensee metropolitan region are the primary local sources throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Lochau?
Lochau's air quality is at its poorest on calm winter mornings, when vehicle traffic and cross-border commuting settle before lake breezes off the Bodensee return. Conditions generally stay good through spring and summer, aside from occasional ozone peaks in prolonged heat. Autumn tends to be another steady, comparatively clean stretch.
Are air quality levels in Lochau 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.
Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?
Airmine’s forecast uses CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) as its background atmospheric model. While CAMS includes wildfire emissions, these are derived from satellite observations and are not available in real time. During rapidly evolving wildfire events, there may therefore be a delay before increased emissions are incorporated into the model. As a result, the forecast may temporarily underestimate PM₂.₅ and other pollutants associated with wildfire smoke.
During rapidly evolving wildfire events, CAMS may lag by approximately 1–2 days before increased wildfire emissions are fully represented, which can lead to temporary underestimation of PM₂.₅ concentrations in Airmine’s forecast.
