When is air pollution at its worst in Reversing Falls?

Year-round, the Reversing Falls's air quality is closely tied to its tidal rapids where the Saint John River meets the Bay of Fundy. Air quality here tends to dip in summer, when heat and industrial output combine, and again briefly in winter when cold, calm air traps emissions near ground level. Wind direction along the river has a strong influence on which neighbourhoods feel the effects most on any given day.

Are air quality levels in Reversing Falls 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.
