Olbia's air quality benefits from its Sardinian Costa Smeralda position on the Gulf of Olbia, with consistent Mediterranean and Mistral-influenced northwesterly winds providing reliable maritime ventilation. Vehicle traffic on the SS125 and the Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport's aviation operations contribute local sources, while the summer tourism season generates concentrated traffic and aviation emissions and Saharan dust intrusions periodically affect the northeastern Sardinian coast throughout the year.

Are air quality levels in Olbia 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.
