Kōenchō in Hokkaido reflects the Hokkaido regional position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and very modest local operations contributing minimal sources. The outstanding Hokkaido boreal setting and clean subarctic maritime climate generally maintain excellent to good conditions, while wood-burning stoves during the extreme Hokkaido winters add seasonal PM2.5 and the area generally maintains among Japan's cleaner regional environments throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Kōenchō?

Kōenchō usually sees its poorest air quality when traffic emissions along with charcoal and wood-burning coincide with periods when onshore breezes fall calm. Sea breezes typically keep conditions in check, except during still weather. Areas further inland without this ventilation tend to fare worse.

Are air quality levels in Kōenchō 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.
