Liberia in Costa Rica reflects the Guanacaste Province's flat Pacific coastal plain position at 53 metres, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the cattle, tourism, and services corridor contributing local sources. Consistent Pacific maritime breezes provide seasonal ventilation, while the dry season's Papagayo winds create extraordinary ventilation across this arid Pacific corridor and Liberia generally maintains moderate to good Costa Rican Pacific coastal provincial capital readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Liberia?

The biggest local contributors to pollution in Liberia are traffic on the surrounding roads along with tourism-related traffic, particularly once the sea breeze weakens. Maritime airflow normally ventilates the area well, though calmer spells let levels rise. Areas further inland without this ventilation tend to fare worse.

Are air quality levels in Liberia 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.
