Funato in Wakayama reflects the Wakayama Prefecture Kinokawa River corridor position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the agricultural and residential character contributing very modest local sources. Consistent Pacific and Kinokawa valley breezes provide background ventilation, while the surrounding Kii Mountains create topographic variation and the area generally maintains good to moderate Wakayama Prefecture valley readings throughout most of the year.

Are air quality levels in Funato 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.
