When is air pollution at its worst in Maple Ridge?

Maple Ridge's air quality follows a seasonal rhythm tied to farmland and forest on the Fraser Valley's northern edge. Summer heat can trap Vancouver's traffic emissions against the valley's surrounding mountains, adding to dust from farm fields, while winter rain generally clears the air. Local dairy and berry farming add a modest, steady contribution on top of the seasonal pattern.

Are air quality levels in Maple Ridge 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.
