Yanagawa's air quality reflects the Fukuoka Prefecture Ariake Sea coastal position at the Chikugo River delta canal city, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the eel cuisine, tourism, and agricultural corridor contributing modest local sources. Consistent Ariake Sea maritime breezes provide ventilation, while the famous canal waterways and the broader Fukuoka metropolitan regional background maintain moderate Fukuoka Prefecture coastal corridor readings throughout most of the year.

Are air quality levels in Yanagawa 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.
