Odda is the main town in Ullensvang municipality at the inner Hardangerfjord Sørfjord head, with vehicle traffic and the industrial heritage, zinc smelting legacy, and services corridor contributing local sources. The narrow Sørfjord valley creates topographic concentration under calm conditions and Odda generally maintains moderate conditions throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Odda?

The period residents in Odda notice most on the odd still winter day between weather systems, when the surrounding mountains trap still air close to the valley floor. Frequent wind and rain along this coast generally prevent emissions from building up for long. Outside these periods, air quality in Odda is generally good.

Are air quality levels in Odda 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.
