Ciudad Valles's air quality reflects the San Luis Potosí Valles Huasteca region's Tampaón River valley at 80 metres, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the sugarcane, citrus, and agricultural corridor contributing local sources. The flat Gulf coastal plain allows reasonable dispersal, while Gulf of Mexico breezes provide warm-season ventilation and Ciudad Valles generally maintains moderate northeastern Mexican Gulf coastal plain agricultural readings throughout most of the year.

Are air quality levels in Ciudad Valles 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.
