When is air pollution at its worst in Claresholm?

Claresholm's air quality varies through the year, influenced by farmland of the southern Alberta prairie surrounding it. Cold winter days can trap heating emissions close to the ground, while summer heat, farm dust and occasional wildfire smoke can push pollution higher than usual. Strong, steady prairie winds usually clear the air within a day or two of any buildup.

Are air quality levels in Claresholm 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.
