When is air pollution at its worst in Miramichi?

Miramichi's air quality shifts with the calendar, largely because of its pulp mill along the Miramichi River. Winters here typically bring the cleanest air of the year, but summer and early fall can bring sharp, sometimes prolonged drops in air quality when wildfire smoke drifts in from across the region. Wind direction across the river determines how much of the industrial output drifts into town on any given day.

Are air quality levels in Miramichi 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.
