Tsuyama's air quality reflects the Okayama Prefecture Yoshii River valley's partial enclosure in the Chugoku Mountains at 100 metres, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the manufacturing, government, and agricultural corridor contributing local sources. The surrounding Chugoku mountain ranges create topographic variation, while winter valley inversions create modest seasonal challenges and Tsuyama generally maintains moderate to good conditions for a major Japanese Chugoku inland mountain valley city throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Tsuyama?

Air quality in Tsuyama tends to be worse when vehicle traffic, manufacturing activity, together with agricultural activity build up and the surrounding valley traps air close to the ground. Topographic enclosure in the valley lets pollution accumulate rather than clear out. This is most pronounced in winter, when inversions are more frequent.

Are air quality levels in Tsuyama 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.
