Sula kommune's air quality benefits from its exceptional Sunnmøre coastal island position adjacent to Ålesund, with consistent Norwegian Sea maritime breezes providing outstanding natural ventilation. Light vehicle traffic and modest local sources contribute minimal impact, while the outstanding coastal island exposure generally maintains excellent to good conditions for an Ålesund metropolitan island municipality throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Sula kommune?

The main air quality concern in Sula kommune arises during the peak weeks of the birch pollen season, 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. Otherwise, Sula kommune maintains good air quality across most of the calendar.

Are air quality levels in Sula 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.
