When is air pollution at its worst in Clonakilty?
Clonakilty sees clear seasonal swings in air quality, driven in part by its West Cork coastal setting near Clonakilty Bay. Constant sea breezes keep the air clean for most of the year, with only the calmest winter evenings allowing local heating smoke to linger briefly. A shift in the wind off the sea usually clears any buildup within a day.
Are air quality levels in Clonakilty 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.
