Murakami's air quality benefits from its exceptional Niigata Prefecture Sea of Japan and Miomote River coastal position, with consistent Sea of Japan maritime breezes providing reliable ventilation. Vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the salmon, sake, and traditional town corridor contribute local sources, while the outstanding coastal exposure and the Iide Mountains inland backdrop create topographic variation and Murakami generally maintains good to moderate conditions for a Japanese Sea of Japan coastal city throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Murakami?

Are air quality levels in Murakami 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.
