Aksaray's air quality reflects the flat central Anatolian Tuz Lake basin position at 980 metres, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the manufacturing, government, and agricultural corridor contributing local sources. The flat Anatolian plateau allows reasonable dispersal on most days, while winter residential heating generates seasonal PM2.5 elevation and Aksaray's central Anatolian character generally maintains moderate Turkish central plateau provincial city readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Yamagata?

Pollution in Yamagata typically rises when road traffic, light manufacturing, along with agricultural burning combine, especially once the colder winter months arrive. Fuel burned for winter heating adds an extra layer of particulates on top of other sources. This is far less of a factor once the heating season ends.

Are air quality levels in Yamagata 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.
