When is air pollution at its worst in Sortland?
Sortland residents are most likely to notice reduced air quality during the birch pollen peak in late spring, when the pollen peak coincides with any rare stretch of still coastal weather. Steady wind off the sea usually means any dip is short-lived. The remainder of the year, Sortland's air quality is typically unremarkable in a good way.
Are air quality levels in Sortland 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.
