Xiaoxita's air quality reflects the Hubei Yangtze River Yichang metropolitan corridor adjacent to the Three Gorges Dam, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the hydropower, chemical, and manufacturing corridor contributing local sources. The Yangtze gorge corridor provides limited ventilation, while the Three Gorges reservoir's humidity and the surrounding Wushan Mountains' topographic enclosure create distinctive local conditions and the area generally maintains moderate Hubei western Yangtze corridor readings throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Xiaoxita?
Air quality in Xiaoxita tends to be worse when traffic on the surrounding roads, heavy industry such as steel, cement, or petrochemical processing, and manufacturing activity build up and winds are light and dispersion is poor. Local weather patterns add further variation on top of these sources. Background emissions and local weather both play a role in day-to-day changes.
Are air quality levels in Xiaoxita 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.
Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?
Airmine’s forecast uses CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) as its background atmospheric model. While CAMS includes wildfire emissions, these are derived from satellite observations and are not available in real time. During rapidly evolving wildfire events, there may therefore be a delay before increased emissions are incorporated into the model. As a result, the forecast may temporarily underestimate PM₂.₅ and other pollutants associated with wildfire smoke.
During rapidly evolving wildfire events, CAMS may lag by approximately 1–2 days before increased wildfire emissions are fully represented, which can lead to temporary underestimation of PM₂.₅ concentrations in Airmine’s forecast.
