Yoshiichō-shimobaru in Nagasaki reflects the Nagasaki Peninsula's coastal position on the East China Sea, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the shipbuilding and residential character contributing local sources. Consistent East China Sea maritime breezes provide reliable ventilation, while the dramatic hillside topography creates distinctive local wind patterns and the area generally maintains moderate Nagasaki metropolitan coastal readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Yoshiichō-shimobaru?

Air quality in Yoshiichō-shimobaru tends to be worse when road traffic and shipbuilding and port operations build up and the sea breeze weakens. Onshore breezes usually help clear the air, but pollution can build up when winds are light. This coastal advantage is less pronounced during still, high-pressure weather.

Are air quality levels in Yoshiichō-shimobaru 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.

Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?

Airmine’s forecast uses CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) as its background atmospheric model. While CAMS includes wildfire emissions, these are derived from satellite observations and are not available in real time. During rapidly evolving wildfire events, there may therefore be a delay before increased emissions are incorporated into the model. As a result, the forecast may temporarily underestimate PM₂.₅ and other pollutants associated with wildfire smoke.

During rapidly evolving wildfire events, CAMS may lag by approximately 1–2 days before increased wildfire emissions are fully represented, which can lead to temporary underestimation of PM₂.₅ concentrations in Airmine’s forecast.
