When is air pollution at its worst in Basilique Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre?

Air quality at Basilique Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré shifts noticeably across the seasons, shaped by its riverside pilgrimage setting east of Quebec City. Warmer months usually bring elevated ozone and haze as heat, sunlight and vehicle emissions interact, while cooler months bring a marked improvement, apart from occasional temperature inversions that trap pollutants near the surface overnight. Its position along the St. Lawrence River tends to moderate the sharpest seasonal extremes.

Are air quality levels in Basilique Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre 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.

Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?

Airmine’s forecast uses CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) as its background atmospheric model. While CAMS includes wildfire emissions, these are derived from satellite observations and are not available in real time. During rapidly evolving wildfire events, there may therefore be a delay before increased emissions are incorporated into the model. As a result, the forecast may temporarily underestimate PM₂.₅ and other pollutants associated with wildfire smoke.

During rapidly evolving wildfire events, CAMS may lag by approximately 1–2 days before increased wildfire emissions are fully represented, which can lead to temporary underestimation of PM₂.₅ concentrations in Airmine’s forecast.
