Linares in Nuevo León reflects the greater Monterrey metropolitan area's southeastern foothills corridor in the Sierra Madre Oriental, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the citrus, manufacturing, and services corridor contributing local sources. The Sierra Madre Oriental creates topographic variation on the valley's eastern escarpment, while the Monterrey metropolitan regional background influences the corridor and Linares generally maintains moderate northeastern Mexican mountain foothills corridor readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Linares?

The biggest local contributors to pollution in Linares are traffic emissions as well as manufacturing activity, particularly once winds are light and dispersion is poor. Day-to-day conditions here depend heavily on the weather. Conditions can otherwise vary considerably with the weather.

Are air quality levels in Linares 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.
