Kristiansund's exposed coastal island setting brings frequent strong winds off the open sea, generally keeping air quality very good, with local traffic around the harbour the main occasional exception.

When is air pollution at its worst in Kristiansund?

Kristiansund's air quality is most affected during calm high-pressure spells in winter, when the surrounding mountains trap still air close to the valley floor. The next Atlantic weather system typically clears things up within a day or so. The remainder of the year, Kristiansund's air quality is typically unremarkable in a good way.

Are air quality levels in Kristiansund 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.
