When is air pollution at its worst in Hull?

Hull's air quality follows a seasonal rhythm tied to its downtown core directly across the river from Ottawa. Warmer months usually bring elevated ozone and haze as heat, sunlight and vehicle emissions interact, while cooler months bring a marked improvement, apart from occasional temperature inversions that trap pollutants near the surface overnight. Its distance from the downtown core usually means slightly calmer conditions than central Ottawa.

Are air quality levels in Hull 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.
