Denpasar's air quality is shaped by Bali's tropical island climate, with consistent Indian Ocean and Java Sea breezes providing natural ventilation for much of the year. Rapid motorisation and the density of petrol scooters in Denpasar and the wider Kuta-Seminyak tourist corridor contribute elevated NOₓ and PM2.5, while dry season agricultural burning from Java and Kalimantan can severely elevate PM2.5 across the island.

When is air pollution at its worst in Denpasar?

Denpasar residents notice reduced air quality mainly when tropical tree and grass pollen peaks, and during spells of Java and Kalimantan can severely; cooler, breezier weather later in the year tends to bring things back down.

Are air quality levels in Denpasar 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.
