Ålesund's air quality benefits from its exceptional Norwegian fjord and Møre og Romsdal coastal position, with consistent North Sea and Norwegian Sea westerlies providing powerful and reliable maritime ventilation. Vehicle traffic on the E39 and the surrounding fish processing and oil service industry contribute local sources, while the outstanding fjord and open sea exposure and the surrounding Sunnmøre Alps create dramatic topographic variation, generally maintaining Ålesund among Norway's cleaner coastal urban environments throughout most of the year.

Frequent wind and rain along this coast generally prevent emissions from building up for long. For the rest of the year, Ålesund typically sees consistently good air quality.
Are air quality levels in Ålesund 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.
