Hareid kommune's air quality benefits from its exceptional outer Sunnmøre island position on the Hareidlandet island, with consistent Norwegian Sea maritime breezes providing outstanding natural ventilation. Very modest vehicle traffic and light local industry contribute minimal sources, while the clean coastal island setting and the outstanding maritime exposure generally maintain excellent to good conditions throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Hareid kommune?

People in Hareid kommune tend to notice the biggest change in air quality on the odd still winter day between weather systems, when steep terrain around the fjord occasionally traps local emissions close to town. The next Atlantic weather system typically clears things up within a day or so. The rest of the year, residents can expect generally clean air in Hareid kommune.

Are air quality levels in Hareid kommune 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.
