Yucheng in Sichuan reflects the Sichuan Basin's Pengshan River valley position south of Chengdu adjacent to Leshan, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the agricultural and light manufacturing corridor contributing local sources. The Sichuan Basin's topographic enclosure creates concentration under winter inversions, while the broader Chengdu-Leshan metropolitan industrial background influences the corridor and the area generally maintains moderate Sichuan Basin provincial readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Yucheng?

Yucheng usually sees its poorest air quality when traffic emissions, manufacturing activity, as well as agricultural activity coincide with periods 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 Yucheng 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.
