When is air pollution at its worst in Grimsby?
Grimsby sees clear seasonal swings in air quality, driven in part by the fruit orchards of the Niagara Escarpment's edge. Lake breezes off Lake Erie and Lake Ontario generally keep the air clean, though summer heat and cross-border traffic can bring brief periods of smog, and spring brings orchard and field activity. The escarpment and lake together create a moderating effect that keeps extremes fairly rare.
Are air quality levels in Grimsby 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.
