Gonubie Golf Club lies roughly 250 km east-northeast of Gqeberha. Vehicle traffic and mixed farming and light industrial activity contribute most of the local emissions at Gonubie Golf Club, set within the Eastern Cape's transitional climate zone. Reasonably steady rainfall through the year generally keeps dispersal conditions favourable, with only brief exceptions on still mornings. Much of the surrounding district sees broadly the same seasonal pattern.

When is air pollution at its worst in Gonubie Golf Club?

Golfers at Gonubie Golf Club are most likely to notice reduced air quality during the drier winter months, when lower rainfall allows dust and emissions from mixed farming and light industrial activity to persist longer over the course. Conditions generally improve from spring through summer, a seasonal pattern typical of this Eastern Cape climate zone.

Are air quality levels in Gonubie Golf Club 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.
