Air quality in Oberstdorf reflects the Bavarian Alpine foreland, with vehicle traffic along the regional road network and surrounding dairy farming and seasonal tourism contributing the primary local sources. The pre-Alpine terrain gives variable dispersal depending on wind direction, while Alpine foehn conditions periodically bring especially clean air to the region throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Oberstdorf?
In Oberstdorf, the days to watch are when linden, maple, and beech pollen peaks, or warm, stagnant days when local emissions settle; day-to-day road traffic here stays a fairly minor, steady source. Ragweed becomes a modest late-summer presence here from mid-August onward. Fresh air tends to follow a change in wind direction here.
Are air quality levels in Oberstdorf 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.
