When is air pollution at its worst in The Battery?
Air quality in The Battery shifts noticeably across the seasons, shaped by its cliffside houses at the mouth of St. John's harbour. Frequent storms and fog off the North Atlantic keep pollution levels low year-round, with occasional calm summer days the only time local emissions can briefly build up. The near-constant wind off the ocean rarely lets anything accumulate for long.
Are air quality levels in The Battery 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.
