Asahi in Chiba reflects the flat Chiba Prefecture Kujukuri coastal plain position on the Pacific, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the agricultural, fishing, and services corridor contributing modest local sources. Consistent Pacific maritime breezes provide reliable coastal ventilation, while the outstanding Kujukuri beach coastal exposure generally maintains Asahi among Chiba's more moderately ventilated coastal agricultural cities throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Asahi?

The biggest local contributors to pollution in Asahi are vehicle traffic, farming and agricultural processing, as well as fishing fleet activity, particularly once the sea breeze weakens. Maritime airflow normally ventilates the area well, though calmer spells let levels rise. This coastal advantage is less pronounced during still, high-pressure weather.

Are air quality levels in Asahi 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.
