In Höxter, air quality is shaped by the flat Westphalian plain, with vehicle traffic on local and regional roads and nearby farming and food-processing activity as the main local sources. The flat, open terrain generally allows reasonable pollutant dispersal, while Atlantic westerlies and the wider Ruhr-area industrial background dominate regional air quality throughout the year.

Are air quality levels in Höxter 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.
