Ise's air quality benefits from its exceptional Mie Prefecture Ise Bay and Shima Peninsula coastal position adjacent to the sacred Ise Jingu shrines, with consistent Ise Bay and Pacific maritime breezes providing reliable ventilation. Vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the tourism, pearl cultivation, and traditional foods corridor contribute modest local sources, while the outstanding coastal exposure and the sacred forest character generally maintain Ise among Japan's more moderately ventilated historical coastal shrine cities throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Ise?

In Ise, vehicle traffic and tourism-related traffic are the main local sources, with conditions worsening when the sea breeze weakens. Onshore breezes usually help clear the air, but pollution can build up when winds are light. Areas further inland without this ventilation tend to fare worse.

Are air quality levels in Ise 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.
