Rucheng in Jiangsu reflects the flat Jiangsu coastal plain position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and agricultural and light manufacturing operations contributing local sources. East China Sea breezes provide maritime ventilation, while winter anticyclonic inversions concentrate heating and vehicle emissions and the flat terrain allows reasonable summer dispersal throughout most of the year.

Onshore breezes usually help clear the air, but pollution can build up when winds are light. Coal and wood used for winter heating add substantially to particulate levels.

Are air quality levels in Rucheng 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.
