Tangier's air quality benefits from its exceptional Moroccan position at the Strait of Gibraltar — the world's busiest maritime strait — with consistent Atlantic and Mediterranean maritime breezes and the famous Levant and Poniente winds providing outstanding maritime ventilation. Vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the port, manufacturing, and tourism corridor contribute local sources, while the extraordinary strait's powerful wind dynamics generally maintain Tangier among North Africa's more reliably ventilated major coastal port cities throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Tangier?
In Tangier, traffic emissions, manufacturing activity, and harbour and shipping traffic are the main local sources, with conditions worsening when onshore breezes fall calm. Maritime airflow normally ventilates the area well, though calmer spells let levels rise. This coastal advantage is less pronounced during still, high-pressure weather.
Are air quality levels in Tangier 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.
