Shache's air quality reflects the Xinjiang Tarim Basin's Yarkant oasis position at 1,189 metres surrounded by the Kunlun and Pamir ranges, with vehicle traffic and the agricultural, jade, and services corridor contributing local sources. Windblown Taklamakan Desert dust generates severe PM10 and the surrounding mountain enclosure creates concentration under calm arid conditions throughout most of the year.

Are air quality levels in Shache 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.
