El Tezal in Baja California Sur reflects the Cabo San Lucas metropolitan corridor's inland position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the growing residential and commercial development contributing local sources. The Pacific and Gulf of California maritime breezes provide background ventilation, while the flat semi-arid desert terrain generally allows reasonable dispersal and El Tezal generally maintains moderate Baja California Sur resort corridor readings throughout most of the year.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is air pollution at its worst in El Tezal?
The biggest local contributor to pollution in El Tezal is traffic on the surrounding roads, particularly once maritime winds die down. Sea breezes typically keep conditions in check, except during still weather. This natural ventilation is one reason coastal areas often see better readings than inland cities.
Are air quality levels in El Tezal 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.
