Meizhou's air quality reflects the Guangdong eastern Mei River valley's partial enclosure between the Jiulian and Wuyi mountain ranges, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the copper mining and manufacturing corridor contributing local sources. The surrounding mountain ranges create topographic variation, while winter concentration under valley inversions and the regional Guangdong eastern industrial background maintain moderate Guangdong eastern mountain corridor readings throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Meizhou?

In Meizhou, traffic on the surrounding roads, quarrying activity, together with light manufacturing are the main local sources, with conditions worsening when calm, stagnant conditions settle in the surrounding valley. Topographic enclosure in the valley lets pollution accumulate rather than clear out. Strong seasonal winds can lift dust from the surrounding dry terrain and push particulate levels sharply higher.

Are air quality levels in Meizhou 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.
