When is air pollution at its worst in Rust?
At Rust, air quality dips most during still winter spells, when vehicle traffic and vineyard and farm machinery build up briefly under a shallow Pannonian inversion. The open, wind-exposed plain generally clears the air quickly once conditions shift, and summer ozone spikes are usually short-lived. Spring and autumn are the most consistently favourable seasons.
Are air quality levels in Rust 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.
