Miyazaki's air quality benefits from its exceptional Pacific Ocean and Hyuga Sea coastal position in Kyushu, with consistent Pacific and Hyuga maritime breezes providing reliable ventilation. Vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the tourism, food processing, and sports corridor contribute modest local sources, while the outstanding Pacific coastal exposure and the Kirishima Mountains rising inland create topographic variation and Miyazaki generally maintains good to moderate conditions for a major Japanese Pacific coastal city throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Miyazaki?

In Miyazaki, vehicle traffic, manufacturing and food processing, as well as seasonal tourism traffic are the main local sources, with conditions worsening when the sea breeze weakens. Sea breezes typically keep conditions in check, except during still weather. This natural ventilation is one reason coastal areas often see better readings than inland cities.

Are air quality levels in Miyazaki 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.
