Shibuya in Tokyo listed separately reflects the famous Shibuya district's central Tokyo commercial and entertainment character, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the extraordinary Shibuya Scramble Crossing's pedestrian and vehicle concentration generating sustained NO₂ in the dense urban canyon. The broader Tokyo metropolitan regional background elevates all readings, while summer photochemical ozone from the vast Kanto corridor is the primary warm-season concern throughout the year.

Are air quality levels in Shibuya 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.
