When is air pollution at its worst in Bijlmer (Amsterdam Zuidoost)?
The clearest air quality impact for Amsterdam's Bijlmer (Amsterdam Zuidoost) tends to come in the spring-to-early-summer window, during the birch, oak, and alder pollen peak, or on still, warm days when traffic on the A9 and industry emissions pile up; the proximity to open water generally keeps dispersal conditions favourable. Apart from these spells, Amsterdam's Bijlmer (Amsterdam Zuidoost) usually sees conditions fairly typical for the country as a whole.
Are air quality levels in Bijlmer (Amsterdam Zuidoost) 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.
