Coatepec's air quality reflects the Veracruz Sierra Madre Oriental's Coatepec River valley at 1,209 metres adjacent to the famous Coatepec coffee region, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the coffee processing — Coatepec producing Mexico's finest café — and agricultural corridor contributing distinctive roasted coffee organic aerosols alongside primary vehicle sources. The surrounding mountain ranges create topographic variation, while the tropical highland climate's frequent rain provides atmospheric cleansing and the coffee roasting operations' extraordinary aromatic emissions represent Coatepec's most uniquely fragrant local air quality characteristic throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Coatepec?

Air quality in Coatepec tends to be worse when traffic emissions along with farming and agricultural processing build up and weather conditions turn unfavourable. Local weather patterns add further variation on top of these sources. Conditions can otherwise vary considerably with the weather.

Are air quality levels in Coatepec 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.
