Villingen-Schwenningen's air quality reflects the dual city's position on the Black Forest-Swabian Alb watershed, with vehicle traffic on the B27 contributing local sources. The Black Forest uplands to the west and the Swabian Alb to the east create significant topographic variation, while the elevated highland position at 700 metres provides better background dispersal than the Rhine valley below.

When is air pollution at its worst in Villingen-Schwenningen?

Air quality dips in Villingen-Schwenningen mostly track beech, fir, and linden pollen peaks and windless summer days when pollutants accumulate nearby; vehicle traffic on local and regional roads is a modest local source. Ragweed levels rise modestly from mid-August, consistent with much of southern Germany. Fresh air tends to follow a change in wind direction here.

Are air quality levels in Villingen-Schwenningen 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.
