Onshore breezes off the Atlantic usually clear the air within a day or so.
Are air quality levels in Glace Bay based on measurements or forecasts?

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.
