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.

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.
