Sveio kommune benefits from its outer Bømlafjord coastal position adjacent to Haugesund, with consistent North Sea maritime breezes providing outstanding natural ventilation. Very modest vehicle traffic and agricultural operations contribute minimal local sources, while the outstanding coastal exposure maintains excellent to good conditions throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Sveio kommune?

Sveio kommune typically sees the sharpest drop in air quality when wood-smoke and still air combine in winter, when cold air pools in the steep valley on the rare calm, dry day. Conditions here rarely stay still for long before the next front moves through. Apart from these spells, Sveio kommune generally enjoys favourable air quality.

Are air quality levels in Sveio 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.
