Mokpo's air quality reflects the South Korean southwestern Jeonnam coastal position on the Yellow Sea, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the port, food processing, and manufacturing corridor contributing local sources. Yellow Sea breezes provide coastal ventilation, while seasonal Chinese dust transport elevates PM10 during spring yellow dust episodes and Mokpo generally maintains moderate South Korean southwestern coastal provincial city readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Mokpo?
Pollution in Mokpo typically rises when vehicle traffic, manufacturing activity, as well as fishing fleet activity combine, especially once dry spells bring strong winds. Strong seasonal winds can lift dust from the surrounding dry terrain and push particulate levels sharply higher. Sea breezes typically keep conditions in check, except during still weather.
Are air quality levels in Mokpo 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.
