When is air pollution at its worst in Signal Hill?
Signal Hill's air quality varies through the year, influenced by its elevated position in west Calgary near Sarcee Trail and Bow Trail. Winter's sudden chinook winds can melt snow and clear the air within hours, while summer heat and wildfire smoke drifting from the Rockies occasionally push pollution higher. These warm winter winds are one of the most distinctive features of the local climate.
Are air quality levels in Signal Hill 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.
