San Felipe in Valparaíso reflects the Chilean Aconcagua River valley's position at 654 metres between the Andes and the coastal Cordillera, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the fruit, wine, and agricultural corridor contributing local sources. The Aconcagua valley's topographic enclosure creates concentration under winter inversions, while Pacific westerlies provide seasonal relief and San Felipe generally maintains moderate Chilean Valparaíso agricultural valley readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in San Felipe?

Are air quality levels in San Felipe 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.
