When is air pollution at its worst in Gibsons?
Gibsons's air quality follows a seasonal rhythm tied to its harbourside setting at the start of the Sunshine Coast. Winter brings frequent rain that keeps the air clean and washed, while summer's drier stretches can occasionally trap traffic emissions and, in bad wildfire years, smoke drifting in from the BC Interior. Frequent Pacific storms during the cooler months usually clear the air completely within a day.
Are air quality levels in Gibsons 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.
