When is air pollution at its worst in Tralee?
Tralee experiences a distinct seasonal pattern in air quality, tied to its gateway setting to the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry. Turf and coal smoke can build up on still, cold winter nights, while the wetter, windier months of the rest of the year usually keep the air clean. A change in the weather, which happens often in Ireland, usually clears any smoke within a day or two.
Are air quality levels in Tralee 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.
