Måløy is the main town in Kinn municipality on the outer Norwegian Sea coast at Vagsøy island, with vehicle traffic and the fishing, aquaculture, and services corridor contributing local sources. Consistent and often powerful Norwegian Sea maritime winds provide outstanding ventilation and Måløy generally maintains good to moderate conditions throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Måløy?

Måløy's air quality is most affected on the odd still winter day between weather systems, when the surrounding mountains trap still air close to the valley floor. The region's famously high rainfall usually washes the air clean again quickly. Otherwise, Måløy maintains good air quality across most of the calendar.

Are air quality levels in Måløy 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.
