Jacona de Plancarte's air quality reflects the Michoacán Puruarán River valley at 1,682 metres adjacent to Zamora, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the strawberry, agricultural, and services corridor contributing local sources. The elevated plateau position aids dispersal on most days, while winter inversions create modest seasonal challenges and Jacona generally maintains moderate Mexican western Michoacán highland valley readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Jacona de Plancarte?

In Jacona de Plancarte, traffic on the surrounding roads along with agricultural burning are the main local sources, with conditions worsening when the surrounding valley traps air close to the ground. Topographic enclosure in the valley lets pollution accumulate rather than clear out. This is most pronounced in winter, when inversions are more frequent.

Are air quality levels in Jacona de Plancarte 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.
