Gaoping's air quality reflects the Sichuan Basin's Jialing River valley position in the Nanchong corridor, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the natural gas, agricultural, and light manufacturing corridor contributing local sources. The Sichuan Basin's topographic enclosure creates concentration under winter inversions, while the broader Nanchong metropolitan industrial background influences the corridor and the area generally maintains moderate Sichuan Basin provincial readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Gaoping?
Air quality in Gaoping tends to be worse when vehicle traffic, light manufacturing, together with farming and agricultural processing build up and temperature inversions set in over the valley. The surrounding valley terrain holds pollutants near the surface rather than letting them disperse. Dust carried on these winds adds substantially to particulate levels.
Are air quality levels in Gaoping 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.
