Jiaozhou in Shandong reflects the flat Shandong Jiaozhou Bay coastal position adjacent to Qingdao, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the port, manufacturing, and light industrial corridor contributing local sources. Yellow Sea breezes provide coastal ventilation, while winter anticyclonic inversions concentrate emissions and Jiaozhou generally maintains moderate Shandong Qingdao metropolitan corridor readings throughout most of the year.

Are air quality levels in Jiaozhou 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.
