Novara's air quality faces the Po Valley's enclosed flat basin between the Alps and Apennines, with vehicle traffic on the A4 motorway and surrounding chemical and manufacturing industry contributing local sources. The flat Po plain's persistent winter anticyclones trap emissions under extended inversion periods, while the Ticino river corridor provides limited ventilation and summer Po Valley ozone from agricultural and vehicle sources adds a warm-season dimension.

Are air quality levels in Novara 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.
