Smøla kommune's air quality benefits from its exceptional Nordmøre offshore island position in the Norwegian Sea — one of Norway's most wind-exposed municipalities — with consistent and often extremely powerful Norwegian Sea westerly winds providing outstanding natural ventilation. Minimal vehicle traffic and negligible local sources contribute virtually no impact, while the extraordinary exposed island position and the famous Smøla wind farm's clean energy character generally maintain excellent conditions throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Smøla kommune?
The clearest air quality impact in Smøla kommune comes during the birch pollen peak in late spring, when a rare dry, calm spell can let pollen levels build up in the fjord basin. Frequent wind and rain along this coast generally prevent emissions from building up for long. For the rest of the year, Smøla kommune typically sees consistently good air quality.
Are air quality levels in Smøla 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.
